Adam grew up in the Scottish town of East Kilbride, where he attended the local East Kilbride rep theater company - the same starting point for fellow Scots, actor John Hannah.
His passion for acting lasted throughout his childhood and he was accepted to Glasgow's prestigious RSAMD, straight from high school. Following in the footsteps of other notable Scots actors like Billy Boyd, David Tennant, Daniela Nardini and Robert Carlyle, he graduated, after three years, with a BA in Acting.
His first professional job came along, while still in his final year, when he appeared in the famous Kings Theatre Panto, with Elaine C. Smith and the late Gerard Kelly. He was also spotted during his last year at college and picked to star in Channel 4's fictional boy-band Mocumentary, Boyz Unlimited (1999), with 'James Cordon'.
After spending some time in London, where he formed his own theater company, "Jockney Productions", and wrote his first play, "Disintigration", he was cast in the movie, To End All Wars (2001), an epic POW film set during World War 2. Filmed in Hawaii with a stellar cast, including Kiefer Sutherland, Robert Carlyle and James Cosmo, this film also introduced Adam to his future wife, Michelle Kath, who was visiting her stepfather, Kiefer Sutherland, on the set.
After To End All Wars (2001), Adam returned to the UK and appeared in many television series, including Hollyoaks: Movin' On (2001), As If (2001), Holby City (1999) and, perhaps most memorably, as the bleached-blonde air steward "Will O'Brian" in Mile High (2003).
After a few years of dividing his time between London and Los Angeles, Adam and Michelle were married in Edinburgh and, eventually, settled in Los Angeles in 2005.
Since then, Adam has worked on a variety of US television and film projects, including Painkiller Jane (2007), with Kristanna Loken, National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006), The Summit (2008), with Christopher Plummer, Rachelle Lefevre and James Purefoy, the award-winning The Day of the Triffids (2009), with Dougray Scott, Eddie Izzard and Joely Richardson.
2011 looks set to be the biggest year for Adam to date. At the end of 2010, he beat off stiff competition to land his first leading film role, as "Lloyd Buist", in the adaptation of Irvine Welsh's critically- acclaimed novel, "Ecstasy". This highly-anticipated movie, Ecstasy (2011), also starring Kristin Kreuk (Smallville (2001)) and Billy Boyd ("Lord Of The Rings"), will be released, internationally, at the end of 2011.
In another starring role, Adam recently became a father for the second time to baby Quinn Sinclair, a little brother for six-year-old Hamish Sinclair.- Addie Mae Collins was born on 18 April 1949 in Birmingham, Alabama, USA. She died on 15 September 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama, USA.

Alan Bodner is an award-winning artist and art director whose work ranges from some of the world's most recognized cartoon characters to multidimensional pieces that combine patterns and shapes into unique conceptual presentations. Bodner is currently the art director on The Life and Times of Juniper Lee (2005), a Cartoon Network original series. Previously, Bodner was the art director on the Emmy-nominated Disney Channel hit series Kim Possible (2002) and the bestselling Disney home video Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (2004). Prior to that, Bodner's credits include the Warner Bros. hit animated feature _Iron Giant (1999)_ (qv_, for which he won an Annie Award, and the now-classic Bugs Bunny short Carrotblanca (1995), which was included with the special DVD edition of Casablanca (1942).
Combining his experience as a highly successful studio art director with his inherent sense of color, shape and design, Bodner has moved away from animation in his personal work. He has spent the past couple of years creating innovative pieces of art that reflect his unique perspective and vision of the world around him. Bodner's pieces are diverse in style while still remaining consistent to the artist's distinct thoughtfulness and design. When Bodner's art is closely observed, one can sense a certain edgy quality that is a subtle offset to the beauty of the color scheme, shapes and patterns of the overall image. Bodner then incorporates the dramatic element of assemblage which give his creations dimension and a cohesive consciousness. Bodner began his career working on shows such as "Mighty Mouse," "The Fat Albert Show" and "Heckle & Jeckle" after graduating from the prestigious Art Center College of Design.
Bodner currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.- Visual Effects

Alex Wilequet was born on 18 April 1928 in Antwerpen, Flanders, Belgium. He is an actor and director, known for De bossen van Vlaanderen (1991), Slisse & Cesar (1977) and Veel geluk, professor! (2001).- Alexander Granach was born in the region of Galizia, in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire (today Ukraine). Given the name Jessaja Szajko Gronish, he was one of a dozen children of a poor Jewish family eking out a living, first in a farming village, later in a series of small towns and cities. He began working early mornings as a baker in his father's poor bakery by the age of 6, had a rough and tumble youth with relatively little schooling in religious and secular Jewish schools. He ran away from home four times, according to his autobiographical novel, but, reunited with his family at the age of 14, saw his first theatrical production, a famous play in the Yiddish language. Granach was smitten by the stage and, determined to become an actor, ran away to Berlin in 1909. In Berlin, Granach worked as a journeyman baker, fell in with a group of Jewish socialist worker-intellectuals--recent immigrants from similar Eastern European backgrounds to his own. His beginning as an actor was in amateur Yiddish-speaking productions, but he was encouraged to learn German and aspire to a wider career and was accepted into the acting school of Max Reinhardt, Europe's leading theatrical figure. Although the beginning of his acting career was interrupted by his military service in World War I, and his time as a prisoner of war in Italy, after the war he rapidly established himself as a leading figure of the flourishing theater and film industry of the Weimar-era in post-war Germany. His most enduring success in German film was as "Knock," the weird real estate agent in "Nosferatu." His charisma is demonstrated in the early German "talkie," "Kameradschaft" (1931), directed by G.W. Pabst. Granach was a well-known figure in the lively political and artistic milieu of the 1920s and early '30s, a friend of leading writers, actors, and directors, and had to flee as soon as Hitler came to power in 1933-as both a Jew and a Leftist. He spent the next five years in exile in Poland and the Soviet Union, acting in films and plays, but was arrested by Stalin's minions in 1938 and was fortunate to be able to leave the USSR and then to get to the United States. He learned English, as he had once learned German, and got his chance to act in Hollywood and then on Broadway, joining the small army of Jewish and other escapees from Hitler's Europe. The role for which he is best known in America is that of Kopalsi in "Ninotchka," (1939) directed by Ernst Lubitsch, but his role as Gestapo Inspector Alois Gruber in "Hangmen Also Die!" (1943) should be better known. (The film was written, in part, by his old colleague, Bertolt Brecht and directed by Fritz Lang.) Granach was acting on Broadway with Frederic March in the play by John Hersey, "A Bell for Adano," when he had an attack of appendicitis and died several days later of an embolism, on March 13, 1945. Alexander Granach wrote an autobiographical novel, with the title Da geht ein Mensch, in German, which was published in 1945, just after his death. The book was published at the same time in an English version, as There Goes an Actor. It was recognized at the time as a remarkable work, and has been republished as: From the Shtetl to the Stage: the Odyssey of a Wandering Actor, by Transaction Publishers, 2010.
- Armenian novelist Alexander Shirvanzade was born Aleksandr Movsesyan in Shirvan, Azerbaijan, in 1858. His father was a tailor. At age 17 Shirvanzade found work in the Caspian Sea city of Baku, Azerbaijan, which was seeing a boom because of its vast oil reserves. He worked in various capacities--clerk, accountant--for a number of different oil companies, but still found time to immerse himself in the works of Russian and Armenian writers, as well as such Western European writers as Honoré de Balzac, Emile Zola and William Shakespeare. Seeing the effects--both good and bad, but mostly bad--that the oil boom was having on the average citizens in the Baku area, he wrote a flurry of novels, plays, articles, etc., protesting against what he saw as the exploitation of both the land and its people by the oil interests, and became active in social protest movements outside Baku. In 1894 he led protests against the Turkish massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, resulting in his imprisonment in TIflis, Georgia; that experience produced what many believe to be his finest work, "Chaos" (1896).
Upon his release from prison he began to agitate for a cause that not many men of the era considered important--women's rights. His plays "Evgine" and "Did She Have the Right?" were about giving women the right to vote. "For the Sake of Honor" (1904) railed against the injustices and excesses of capitalism. In 1916 Russian writer Maxim Gorky praised Shirvanzade's works, saying they "were known and read not only in the Caucasus but also in England, in the Scandinavian Peninsula, and Italy."
In his later years he lived abroad but returned to Armenia in 1926 and settled in Yerevan. He died in Kislovodsk, Armenia, in 1935. - Director
