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.
