Early Life and Education

When it comes to speak about his early life, Kendrick spent his childhood in Houston, where he was raised by his father, Hoyle Sampson, Sr., and his mother, Daphne Smith Sampson. He hails from a family of artist and musician, so he became interested in performing arts from an early age. His mother spotted his talent, so she enrolled him in music lessons, and he eventually learnt to play the piano. At the age of ten, Kendrick expressed his interest in acting after watching a Gap commercial, so he signed to the Kim Terry Studio in Texas. While attending Elkins High School (Texas), he performed in various school productions such as “The Reckoning” and “A Christmas Carol”. Upon matriculation, he moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue his career as an actor, and took private acting lessons from 2007 to 2008.

Career Beginnings

Kendrick’s professional acting career had begun in 2005, when he made his debut film appearance in the role of Lamar in the drama film written by Keith Kjornes and directed by Greg Carter, entitled “Resurrection: The J.R. Richard Story”, about the Houston Astros baseball Pitcher J. R. Richard. Three years later, he guest-starred as Woodchuck in two episodes of the ABC TV family comedy-drama series “Greek”, which was followed by his guest-starring as Derrick Gold in an episode of the CBS forensics crime drama series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”, next to Laurence Fishburne, Marg Helgenberger and Ted Danson, in 2010. All of these appearances marked an increase in his popularity, and establishment of his net worth.

The early 2010s and Rise to Prominence

At the beginning of the next decade, Kendrick appeared in the 2011 short film “This Boy’s Dream”, and then the same year guest-starred as Jay Jordan in an episode of the NBC daytime soap opera “Days Of Our Lives”. Afterwards he played Darren in the short film “Immune” (2011), which he also wrote and produced, and landed the role of Fred Billings in another short film, entitled “The Sidelines” (2012). In the following year, he came to prominence with the  recurring role of Jesse in The CW supernatural drama series “The Vampire Diaries”, starring alongside Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, increasing enormously his popularity as well as his net worth. In 2014, he was chosen to portray Dean Iverson in the Fox crime drama mini-series “Gracepoint”, created by Chris Chibnall, after which he landed the role of Pete Greer in the pilot of the ABC series entitled “The Kingmakers” in 2015; however, the series was cancelled. Nonetheless, Kendrick continued to line up successes, and appeared in the recurring role of Caleb Hapstall in the second season of the ABC prime time legal drama series “How To Get Away With Murder” between 2015 and 2016, produced by Shonda Rhimes.

Recent Years

To speak further about his acting career, Kendrick also starred in the role of Henri in the short film “Rougarou” (2016), which was followed by his guest-starring appearance in The CW dark fantasy series “Supernatural” (2016-2017). In 2017, he became somewhat busier as he guest-starred as Nathan Turner in an episode of the Fox police procedural drama series “Rosewood”, won the recurring role of Robbie MacDonald in the Showtime comedy series based on the life of Jamie Foxx, entitled “White Famous”, and featured as Nate in the comedy-drama series “Relationship Status”. Most recently, Kendrick was chosen to play Dominic Lanse in The CW superhero series “The Flash” (2017-2018), and to portray Nathan Campbell in the HBO comedy-drama series “Insecure” (2018), so his net worth is certainly still rising. In addition to his involvement in the world of acting, Kendrick has now also established his own production company, Sampson Studios.
