Biography edit

Tony Sampson was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He has played the role of Flash in the Canadian television drama The Odyssey and Eddy from Ed, Edd, n Eddy. Sampson has also worked for Vancouver's Ocean Productions and Voicebox Productions, primarily in anime.

After Ed, Edd n Eddy ended in 2009, he retired from acting to work in the oil sands industry in Fort McMurray, operating heavy equipment.[1] Sampson later revealed this was because the production company he was working under threatened to blacklist him from the acting industry after requesting a modest raise.[2]

Since 2013, he has been a musical artist with songs on Spotify and iTunes.[3] Sampson once made a guest appearance at the March Toronto Anime Con in 2006.[4]
