Mini bio
How it started.
Before the sketches, Adam was trying to become a comedic actor in Los Angeles. In his Casting Networks interview, he recalled working as an assistant, struggling to get auditions, and teaching himself to record and edit. His first video barely reached anyone. While waiting for a final paycheck before returning to New York, he made more videos. One reached more than 400,000 views overnight after accounts including Ludacris reposted it.
Finding his audience.
Other creators began inviting Adam to film with them. He told Casting Networks that his tenth Instagram video reached a million views, helping his account grow and opening the door to brand partnerships and representation. His work now centers on physical comedy and familiar situations, with visual punchlines that can travel across languages.
Beyond the short sketch.
Adam acted in and helped produce Tribes, a short comedy about three would-be train robbers whose ideas about identity derail their plan. In 2026, he introduced Double View to solve a problem from his own shoots: recording the same moment for both vertical and horizontal screens. Away from filming, he has supported schools in Bali with Karmagawa and the Bali Children’s Project.
