Person Biography:

Born in Toronto, Adrian spent an extensive period of 10 years in the United Kingdom, where he underwent rigorous training and honed his acting skills in theatre, film, and television. Following his return to Toronto in the 1990s, he seamlessly transitioned into the Canadian entertainment industry.

Adrian's remarkable versatility as an actor was first showcased in the iconic animated X-men classic series, where he brought the character of Nightcrawler to life. His impressive range and ability to adopt various accents and voices led to his first audition and job.

In 2011, Adrian landed the pivotal role of Haytham Kenway, the first Grand Master of the Templar Order's Colonial Rite, in the highly successful video game Assassin's Creed 3. His outstanding performance, achieved through performance capture at Ubisoft's studio, earned him a BAFTA nomination. Just 10 days after this prestigious recognition, Adrian faced a bittersweet moment with the passing of his father in 2013.

Throughout his illustrious career, Adrian has consistently demonstrated his remarkable acting prowess, taking on a wide range of intense roles. He has effortlessly transitioned between characters, from demonic murderers to pious individuals. His current on-screen role as Sigourney Weaver's brother in '(re) Assignment' solidifies his reputation as a master of playing complex, morally ambiguous characters.

Despite his on-screen persona, Adrian is a kind and compassionate individual in real life. He resides in an ocean-side island home with his three children, surrounded by the beauty of old growth forests and the ocean. Adrian is deeply passionate about protecting these natural wonders and works tirelessly to preserve them for future generations.
