He appeared in the Belgian movies Windkracht 10: Koksijde Rescue (Hans Herbots, 2007) and as Steve Van Hamel in Vermist (Jan Verheyen, 2007), a role he reprised in the television series of the same name (2008–2016). Van Samang appeared in other Flemish TV series such as Flikken (2003), Rupel (2004), Witse (2008) and had supporting roles in David (2009–2010) and in Amika (2010–2011).
