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.- Blythe Duff was born on 25 November 1962 in East Kilbride, Scotland, UK.

Gracie was born in Newfoundland to an Irish Catholic father and an British Protestant mum. Her father worked for the justice department ward for the criminally insane. His love of tall tales and inappropriate sharing of work stories with his young daughter helped to shape Gracie's humor from an early age, much to her mother's chagrin.
Growing up she spent most of her childhood watching British comedies and silent movies. Well, they weren't actually silent. She was forced to watch them without the volume as not to get caught watching the late night movies. As a child, those PG/R movies were strictly forbidden, so silence was key. She would made up her own story-lines to go along with the images on the screen and hence her memories of many of Hollywood's iconic films are a little warped.
Since 2007, she produced/written comedy shows for the troops and private companies, bringing her to Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Poland, Greece, Bosnia, Japan, Guam, Vietnam, China and Russia. During which time she has survived a plane crash in South East Asia, narrowly missed car bombing in Syria, sprained a leg running from a black bear and then one hour later tripped over her own ego and broke her sprained leg and sprained her good leg - all in the pursuit of her love of international comedy!
Still early in her career, she has already earned 15 television writing credits and has created two non-scripted television shows Comedy Can Television Series (2007-2009) and Comedy in the City (2012-).
Gracie has had seven of her plays produced in the last five years. All comedies; including: The critically acclaimed -"Seven Funerals and a corpse", the award winning - "Island Boys" and the not so good, well, let's face it - tragically awful "The Noble Assistant" - from which she rebounded with the nationally successful Canadian Crap Tour.
Gracie's heart and roots are in storytelling. She feels that it is art form and it takes a lifetime to learn. She will keep learning from anyone who will teach her and keep laughing at how ridiculously enjoyable the ride has been thus far.
In her free time she likes to travel, create lists excuses for not settling down and hanging out with her friends, most of whom are professional tribute artists, circus performers and stand-up comics.- Music Department
