Samuel Harry Strike (born January 18, 1994) is an English actor best known for playing Johnny Carter in the BBC soap opera EastEnders and Daniel 'Dan' Morgan in the CBBC series M.I. High.
Strike was born in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. He starred in two revival series of CBBC's M.I. High as Dan Morgan from 2013–14. In 2014, Strike guest starred in episode two of comedy series Give Out Girls as 15-year-old named Luke, whom Marilyn dates. Strike was voted the 18th hottest lad of 2014 in a fan vote ran by sugarscape.com.
In 2013, Strike was cast in his most famous role to date playing Johnny Carter in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. Strike's character was introduced as part of the Carter family. He is the son of Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). He made his first appearance on 26 December 2013.
His portrayal of Johnny was met with critical praise, specifically the scenes where Johnny came out to his father. Both Strike's and Dyer's sensitive performances during this scene were praised. On this particular scene, Strike said, "With that scene where Johnny comes out to Mick, I was really nervous the night it aired, because you want it to look convincing but then you want to do justice by the people that have been there and done it. It was a real proving ground for me, because it was the first time I actually had to do any proper drama acting." In an online video on the official website, Strike said, "I've had letters and Danny's had letters saying that we'd helped people to come out, and it makes things worth it."
