Sam Goode

John's best friend. Sam is a devoted believer in aliens and alien conspiracies, believing that aliens abducted his father from his truck. He first suspects what John is, after they are attacked on the Haunted Hayride by Mark and his friends, but isn't told what John is until after he sees John fight the three men in Athens who write the alien conspiracy magazine, They Walk Among Us. He is seen as a gangly kid with glasses, though they are not his—he explains to John that they belonged to his father, and he is trying to see through his father's eyes. During the battle against the Mogadorians, Sam saves John's life by killing one of the soldiers, and he also saves Six by carrying her back to his truck after she was injured. He decides to accompany John and Number Six away from Paradise.

In the film he is portrayed by Callan McAullife.…more
