About Adam Atherton: Performing has always been an interest and passion of Adam Atherton.

He began performing at the age of 7 and has continued working with creative arts throughout various points in his life.

Adam partook in theatrical courses that were offered for 12 weeks during the summer months for 4 consecutive years (ages 9-12). He then performed at various levels of stage plays throughout middle and high school, but his education and practice of performing came when he began wrestling and was signed by Vince McMahon and the WWE. From there Adam was able to hone his craft and really immerse into the art of storytelling.

After WWE, he took several years off to be a supportive and loving father to two little girls. He has picked up acting again, and since last fall have acted in numerous films and have several more lined up over the next year.

From his look, to his delivery, to his ability to do stunts and fight scenes, Adam has the skills to portray many kinds of characters. We are thrilled to have Adam aboard with us in our ensemble cast!”
