Biography:The youngest of the acting Bottoms brothers, "Samuel Bottoms" made his first film appearance as the retarded Billy in "The Last Picture Show", appearing in several scenes with older brother Timothy. Samuel later showed up in two Vietnam-themed "Francis Ford Coppola" films: he was hotshot PFC Lance in "Apocalypse Now" (1979) and the more sober-sided Lt. Webber in "Gardens of Stone" (1987). In 1981, he starred in the TV-miniseries remake of "East of Eden" as Cal Trask, while his brother Timothy played his father, Adam Trask. "Samuel Bottoms" went on to co-star with Tim and "Joseph Bottoms" in 1987's "Island Sons", a busted TV pilot. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
