NYC Actor, Singer, Song Writer and influencer, Samuel Neal Moffatt, pronounced like just like the late producer Steven Moffatt of Dr Who. Which would be helpful if I knew how both were pronounced but he graciously accepted my tongue tied apology. It is true Sam held our Queen of Queens Lady Gaga backstage during a Hurricane relief that he performed in. Also amazed at his his care for humanity with fundraising for a Palestinian girl living in Gaza. And don't forget the silly, Gay or not gay Dinosaur game, Charcuterie boards, Resolutions and more. linktr.ee/SamuelMoffatt
