Adam Prout
- Actor
With a model for a grandmother, who posed for Chanel No. 5 and Guinness
in Ireland, Adam Prout had the spotlight in his blood. Born in Boston,
Massachusetts, he began his career in the arts at age 19 in New York
City. He was originally going to train to draw comic books for a living
but decided on a career in film. After graduating from The New York
Film Academy in 1998 with a certificate in directing, he was moved out
of his house and spent the following decade moving around many cities
trying to start a band as a front man, while working mainly as a retail
make-up artist. He got his first taste of fame on the Internet under an
alter ego, along with a few others, who found a way to get notoriety
after the birth of social networking sites. He ended up in Los Angeles
by June 2007, and was soon discovered by his agent while doing
background work as an extra in commercials, television, and films.
Independent, student, and short films followed with his first lead in a
short film where he played a challenging initial role, as a psychotic,
murderous ex boyfriend. Within 6 months of deciding on an acting
career, Prout landed two speaking roles in the feature films Busted and
Once Fallen. Quickly establishing himself as a natural talent on the
immediate rise, he decided to enhance his craft and enroll in The
Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown Studio in Santa Monica as well as various other
training studios. In August of 2009 he booked his first commercial for
Guitar Center. As of October 2010 he is a full time student in Orange
County, CA.
