- Hello
Adam, I am proud to interview you, just to start it
off, though you are very famous, please give me some
background information. 
Come on I am
not famous nor would I wanna be, I wish that on no one.
I was born in Paris, France, raised in Sugarland Texas
where I still have a house and I live/work in New York.
I gave up a golf scholarship to Texas Tech to study
Theater arts in Manhattan when I was 18, and picked
up modeling to pay my way through school. I have a wonderful
supportive family and the best little sister any guy
could ask for!
-Who discovered you and
convinced you to become a model and how old were you
at the time?
I had been approached several
times starting when I was 15 to be a model and I never
thought it was for me cause I was set on playing golf
for the rest of my life. And one thing led to another
by the time I was 18. I ran into a agent from New York
in a hotel lobby in Houston and was asked to come to
NY to check it out. I saw it as a stepping stone to
get involved with some of the best theater arts associations
in NY. Being a little burnt out on golf, I gave up a
free ride, and I promised my parents I would enroll
into acting classes, needless to say they were skeptical,
but here I am 8 years later still in NY hacking away.
-Do
you remember your first main assignment as a model?
Very
first shoot was with Hillary Swank for Intouch mag.
-You worked with many famous photographers,
Mario Testino just to mention one, how was working with
him? how would you describe him as a photographer and
as a person?
Mario is one of the best, he
has a eye for taking pictures that are one of a kind.
-You
are a very successful model and you have done several
major campaigns but is there still a fashion campaign
and a designer you would like to work for?
Haha,
funny you ask that, hummmm I would love to work for
Ralph Lauren I only wear Polo when I play golf, lol.
-I
know you're an actor as well, when did you get interested
in movies? Have you ever taken acting classes?
I had
movie night every Friday at my house since I was born.
My father raised me on all the Classics and my uncle
raised me on Horror. I have taken theater classes since
I was 12, through high school and have studied with
several amazing teachers here in New York. You can never
learn enough!
-What kind of movies would
you like to star in? And what character would you most
like to play?
I love films that take you
through twist and turns and make you think. I would
love to play a wide range of characters, I love to work
hard in order to be well rounded, so I cant choose just
one type of character, but psychotic is always fun!
"Clock work Orange" comes to mind!
-Tell
me about your restaurants in NYC, when did you decide
to set up this business? what kind of are they?
I
got involved in restaurants about 5 years ago, a friend
of mine is very successful in the business and I had
a opportunity to invest with him in two, called Il Bastardo
and Sete. I had a concept for a wine bar so we changed
Sete and named it Bar Baresco and turned it into a wine
and pizza bar. I just took over a third restaurant called
Film Center Cafe. I changed the menu and decor and now
its better than ever. My Grandfather had a catering
service and my grandmother used to come up to NY from
TX to cook with Martha Stewart so she always brought
back some of the best recipes which I have installed
into film centers comfort food menu.
-I
know you've traveled around the world, where you would
like to live other than where you do now?
I
will always have a apt in NY but my heart still lies
in Texas! I would love to build my dream home on lake
Austin in TX.
-Who do you hang out with?
Do you have any friends among male and female models?
Hummmm
friends??? I have a few really good friends and many
acquaintances. Noah Mills is a very good friend as well
as Mark Vanderloo, Alex Lundquist.
-Thanks
Adam for taking your time to answer my questions,
it was a gift to me and my readers!
