Known for his Assassin skills: By Order Of The Peaky Blinders (2013) in Black Tuesday Season 5. To playing an investigating Police Officer in The Messenger (2015) and a Hotel Guest in All at Sea (2013).
Trained in ECSPC Stage Combat: Medieval/Long Sword, Single Rapier & Unarmed Combat (Stage Combat Reel YouTube).
Also has Military and Firearms Training, used in several TV & film productions.
Studied acting for a couple of years with David Johnsons Drama in Manchester. Before that, he was studying drama in college and then night school learning about Shakespeare, players, monologues, occasional writing and the technical side both behind the curtain and the camera from lighting, sound and the occasional film editing.
He would like to do more commercial work. After mostly focusing on TV & film work for the last several years. He had a lot of fun experiences of treading the boards quite a few times, from variety shows in College to Improv and a Musical Theatre Performance at Lancaster Grand playing a variety of characters, with lots of dancing and singing: Criminals, A Russian Spy, Thug, A German Gimp (With Mask and plenty of Zip - he wasn't allowed to keep it though) and The Vipers Nest MC in Dick Barton Special Agent (photo below).
Adam sometimes goes to dancing events at Blackpool Tower Ballroom and also in Manchester for: Brazilian Zouk, Bachata and Salsa and has also taken part in many of the International Zouk Day (IZD) Flash-mobs in Manchester City Centre over the years.
For the last few years he has been honing more outdoor survival skills and during most summer seasons (when not acting) he works in the woods teaching Bushcraft to young students with their teachers on school residentials.
As for more acting, he would really want to do more action roles and would love to play something like James Bond, but would settle to be his evil nemesis, or a villainous spy in the Mission Impossible films, now that would be a fun adventure!
When asked, what dream role{s} would he like to play? He replied "Something I would love the chance to be, is a MARVEL or DC Superhero or even a Super Villain, I would jump at the chance! My inspirations when I was a lad (Once upon a time) watching Christopher Reeves as Superman at the Princess Cinema in Monton as he caught Lois falling from the helicopter, still makes my hair stand up. I would train hard for a role like that (Examples in my Stage Combat Reel on YouTube), let me get my cape!".
"Plus now that they have been making more game based movies, I would also like to be Sam Fisher of Splinter Cell, or a F.E.A.R. Operative (I still love playing these games) or a character from Resident Evil or Silent Hill to many more. I don't get bored of being a villain, maybe there is still a chance to play more good guys?"
Over the years he has got to play a variety of fun, weird and crazy roles, more recently he got the chance to act out even darker characters, like a Nazi Soldier. which he had to learn quite a bit of German and a German accent. He also starred in a Sci-fi movie, where he had fun with green screen and understand a little of how Hugo Weaving felt playing Smith in Matrix Revolutions! He also helped make props and Electronic Special Effect.
He has also driven a few vehicles in the past for TV and film, you may have seen a Police Officer driving a green police van in Northern Soul with big sideburns (photos below). He really does like driving and quite adept at it, who knows maybe a role in one of these epic movies mentioned above, but with car chases would be an awesome opportunity, especially something like the next Fast & Furious, who knows where his dream will take him, if it's fun.... Which he is sure it will be... Just sign him up!"
