Adam was born and bred in Suffolk, moving to London 24 years later, where he trained and graduated from East 15 Acting School in 2008.
Since then, Adam has appeared in a range of productions from Shakespeare to corporate films. Notable credits include Maurice Hall in the stage adaptation of E.M. Forster’s Maurice, which resulted in Adam being short-listed for Best Male Performance in the 2010 Off-West End Awards. He also worked with Guildford Shakespeare Company for their 2008 outdoor season and has since worked regularly with them, bringing Shakespeare to school and corporate events in the Guildford area. Experience in musicals has included playing Paul in Sondheim’s Company and Hines in The Pajama Game – both for All Star Productions at the Rose & Crown Theatre, Walthamstow – as well as appearing as a soloist and ensemble performer in the revue Blink Twice at Above The Stag Theatre in London. Film credits include the low budget features Between The Silence and A Violent Mind. Other experience covers the classics, including Chekov and Jacobean tragedy, contemporary and devised plays for children as well as short films, corporate and voice over work.
Prior to training as an actor, Adam worked in the corporate sector for 12 years, gaining excellent experience in the operations of insurance companies and advertising agencies, whilst also building strong organisational, negotiating and client relationship skills.
