Biography

Following the divorce of his parents, Patrick J. Adams moved to the United States and enrolled in the theater program at the University of Southern California. He quickly became involved in the theater community around the area, making his stage debut in a production of “The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?”, at The Mark Taper Forum and becoming a fixture at the Ojai Playwrights Conference. Adams got into the world of film through a small role in 2003 hit Old School and subsequently made guest appearances on everything from Friday Night Lights and Jack & Bobby to Cold Case, Lost, and NCIS. After having several pilots fail to get off the ground, including 2008’s Good Behavior that found Adams playing twin brothers, his big break came in 2011 when he was cast as brilliant college dropout Mike Ross on provocative USA drama Suits, which began airing its third season in the summer of 2013. While Ross is a more sympathetic attorney, often becoming emotionally involved in his cases, his rival Harvey is a colder presence, more focused on getting a win than securing justice for those he works with, a fundamental difference that leaves the two at odds. For the role, Adams received a surprise Screen Actors Guild nomination in early 2012 in the category of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series, which he lost to Boardwalk Empire star Steve Buscemi. While on Suits, Adams had a four-episode recurring arc on ill-fated HBO horse racing drama Luck, which was canceled after its first season due to the death of three horses and safety concerns for the remaining animals.
