Guy Adkins, a talented individual, was born on October 3rd, 1968, in East Lansing, Michigan, and spent his formative years in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. He pursued his passion for dance and musical theatre at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, where he refined his craft.
Adkins then relocated to Chicago, Illinois, and became a renowned and beloved figure in both musical theatre and straight plays. In 2007, he embarked on a national tour as Oscar Lindquist in the production "Sweet Charity," sharing the stage with the accomplished actress Molly Ringwald.
In 2008, Adkins made the move to New York City, where he quickly gained recognition, securing roles on the NBC series "Kings" and delivering a memorable performance on the hit show "30 Rock." His last notable role was as Chris in the highly acclaimed independent film "The David Dance," which was filmed in early 2009 and released in March 2014.
