From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Adam Gabriel Garcia (born June 1, 1973 in Wahroonga, New South Wales, Australia), is a movie actor. He is often credited as Adam Garcia.
Garcia is the co-founder of a dance group, the Tap Dogs, which would later gain international acclaim.
Despite the fact that he has starred in such movies as Coyote Ugly and others, it was not until 2004, when he participated as rock star Stu Wells in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen that he gained mainstream fame as an actor.
Garcia had for long been an accomplished stage actor before the release of that movie. He played Doody (which is, in fact, John Travolta's character of "Danny") in the West End's version of Grease in London. He also played another Travolta character, Tony Manero, in the stage version of Saturday Night Fever, which ran from 1998 to 1999 in London. He will be guest-starring in the 2006 series of the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
Garcia was nominated for multiple awards during his stage acting career. His career transition into a film actor began in 1997, when he played Jones in Wilde, a movie about the life of novelist Oscar Wilde.
Garcia's father is from Colombia.
