From The Apollo to Spanglish
Adam's career started while he was still at New York University. "My first TV shot was Showtime at the Apollo," Adam says. "I did standup on that show. I was on the second episode so they weren't booing yet! I handled that with grace and dignity."
Adam later ended up in a meeting with Bill Cosby and auditioned for a role on The Cosby Show as Theo's friend. "I was terrible," Adam says. "But I was on the show and I was going to NYU at the time. It was a big deal to my friends. It was a big deal to my family. I actually got a job."
