He is such a compassionate and intellectual individual, and I've never really heard or seen such a beautiful bridging between armed forces and theatre. Absolutely astounding.

In press interviews, Adam is cautious and awkward but put him on stage and his posture straightens and he's confident and articulate. I can see why he prefers theatre as opposed to tv and film. Great speech, wish we could hear all of it.
