ALEXANDER NUNEZ

Sammy Finley-Cullen in “Moonshine”

 

Alexander Nunez stars as Sammy Finley-Cullen in The CW’s new series “Moonshine.” Adopted family darling, musician in the Moonshine band and the “smart” Finley-Cullen, Sammy has the potential to do anything with his life. For now, he’s happy to squander all that potential at the Moonshine. That’s because Sammy is driven by loyalty, love and dedication to his family, in particular, his mother, Bea (Corrine Koslo). The Finley-Cullens are the only family he’s known, and in his eyes, can do no wrong. So the last thing he wants is for the family to fall apart.
