He can act...he can dance...he can sing...what more could a girl, or, a producer, ask for? Adam Garcia is not only one of London's most revered stage actors, but he has managed to bring himself into the limelight of the American cinema as well. It's a difficult decision whether we want to see him onstage with his shirt off, or offstage with his shirt on.

Born Adam Gabriel Garcia on 1 June 1973 in Wahroonga, Australia, Adam knew at a very young age that he wanted nothing more in life than to be on stage. Adam left his university in the late 1990s to pursue the role of Slide in the musical "Hot Shoe Shuffle."

During that same time, Adam helped to co-found the dance troupe "TapDogs" which earned international critical acclaim and propelled Adam into stardom. In 2000, Adam ever portrayed Sean in "Bootmen," a movie based on the story of TapDogs.

Over the next several years, Adam played on and off stage, winning critical acclaim for the roles he took on in the theater, while remaining relatively unknown on the big screen. Adam was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Theater award for Best Actor in a musical for his portrayal of Tony Manero in the 1998 smash hit revival of "Saturday Night Fever" (Adam had coincidentally also play the role of Doody in Grease-following John Travolta's same path to stardom). During these same years, Adam appeared in a number of American cinema films, such as 'Coyote Ugly', 'Kangaroo Jack' (in which he was the voice over for Kangaroo Jack) and 'Riding in Cars with Boys' (2001, in which he played Jason D'Onofrio opposite Drew Barrymore). Adam's debut film had been in 1997, when he won the role of Jones in "Wilde," a movie preserving the memory and celebrating the life of acclaimed writer, Oscar Wilde. Despite landing leading and supporting roles in a number of US films during this time, including those previously mentioned, Adam remained in the wings, waiting for the moment to come when he would step into the spotlight as a true American film star.

On top of being a talented stage and film actor, as well as a renowned dancer, Adam took time to prove that he was a crooning star as well. In 1998, Adam's cover of the BeeGee's "Night Fever" reached number fifteen on the charts in the United Kingdom, coinciding with his rise to fame in the stage world for his performance in " Saturday Night Fever."

Adam received his big break into American cinema stardom in 2004, when he landed the role of rock star Stu Wulff in "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen," opposite Lindsay Lohan, a credit that not only made all of his friends jealous (come on, it's Lindsey), but also propelled him into stardom faster than he could possibly have imagined. That same year, Adam played in two other movies, including "Fascination" (as Scott Doherty) and "Love's Brother" (as Gino Donnini), as well as in two British television series.

Currently, Adam is single and playing the handsome Fiyero (love of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West) in London's production of the musical "Wicked" based on the book by Gregory Maguire.

So whether you next see him as a rockin' super star in American cinema, a hard driving TapDog or a dashing prince and lover, Adam's creativity and drive has made him one of the most important inventions in entertainment, which is probably why he was featured as a dancer in the opening ceremonies of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
