Career

He is perhaps best remembered for his role as Lance Johnson, a Navy Gunner's Mate stationed on a river boat in Francis Ford Coppola's 20th century opus, "Apocalypse Now".

Bottoms earlier appeared with Clint Eastwood in "The Outlaw Josey Wales".

At the age of 16 while watching the shooting of the film "The Last Picture Show", which his older brother Timothy was starring in, Peter Bogdanovich decided to give him a screen test. Sam ended up getting the part of Billy in the movie.
