Articles Where Are They Now - Adam Cast? by DJ Forrest

Adam was perhaps one of the creepiest of all the episodes of Torchwood in the second series. The entity that created the ID of Adam lived in the void between worlds. It fed off the memories of the past and present and was drawn to this world by Jack’s most recent and past memories. It integrated itself into the Torchwood team, assuming links with the very person it touched, removing memories they held, and added fresh convincing memories that allowed the team to believe that Adam had been a member of Torchwood for three years, when in fact it was no more than a few days, if that.

When Jack discovered the truth, and that Ianto really hadn’t killed any of those women he was solely convinced that he had, Jack knew that the only way to get rid of the bad memories was for each member of the team, bar Adam of course, to take a retcon pill strong enough to wipe out the past 48 hours. In doing so, Adam would permanently disappear from their memories and be permanently wiped from existence.

Bryan Dick

‘Adam Smith’

‘Wasn't it lovely? Playing in the sand, no one knowing what was ahead. Your dad laughing. Gray, safe and happy. I don't want to die. You take that pill and you will lose everything I've given you. Wipe me out now and you will lose all your memories of your father. He will cease to have existed for you.’

Bryan born Feb 1^st, 1978 in Denton Holme, Carlisle, UK began his television acting career in 1992, appearing as young Henry Pratt in The Life and Times of Henry Pratt. From there he played roles in Merseybeat, Dalziel and Pascoe, Blue Murder, and Foyle's War before playing alongside David Tennant in the musical miniseries Blackpool, which had many of us, buying the box set and playing it to death. He was the side kick DC Blythe to Tennant's love sick DI Peter Carlisle. It was a fun series to watch, second time round.

He played Adam in 2008, Torchwood, and although I wasn't fond of his character, the outtakes were hilarious.

Since Torchwood he's played Jake Barton in All the Small Things, Sykes in Being Human, Daniel Stafford in Ashes to Ashes, Lucas Ballinger in Silent Witness, Benjamin Sammy in Death in Paradise, Solicitor General Richard Riche in Wolf Hall and in 2018 played Ramsey Sawyer in The Split.

‘Run. Take Gray. Keep him safe.’

Demetri born August 24^th, 1971 in Eugene, Oregon, USA from Greek and Norwegian parents, grew up in British Columbia and spent his adult life living in London.

Demetri played Jack's father in Adam, as well as appearing uncredited in Exit Wounds in 2008. He appears in the TW Declassified documentary in the episode Past Imperfect. (I must rewatch these)

His television credits begin in 1995 with Little Women where he played Bhaer's Student. Since then he's played characters in both television and film, including Parker in Saving Private Ryan in 1998. In 2002 he played a Com Tech in The Bourne Identity, News Anchor in Thunderbirds in 2004 and a Radio Operator in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (only wish that film had been better). A year before Torchwood Adam, he had played Asa Trenchard in National Treasure: Book of Secrets.

Since Torchwood Demetri has voiced video game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West with additional voices in 2010, and Apache: Air Assault. He was also Tanner in video Game Driver: San Francisco in 2011 and Felix Leitner in 007 Legends in 2012. In 2018 was the voice of Survivors in Overkill's The Walking Dead video game.

Lauren Ward

Jack Montgomery

Young ‘Jack’

‘We were running so fast. One moment his hand was in mine.’

Jack was born on February 17^th, 1992 in Alvechurch, Worcestershire, UK. He played the Young Jack in the episode Adam in 2008.

His acting credits for television and film began in 2006 when he played Young Simon in Tristan + Isolde. He went on to play Ben Trent in first episode of Primeval in 2007. Played Jack a year later in Torchwood. He played 3 different characters for Doctors series, from 2006 - 2010 and in 2014 played Sean McCormac in WPC 56 in 2014. Not much else is written since then, but that's not to say he's not working away in theatre somewhere. We'll keep you posted on that score.

Ethan Brooke

Young ‘Gray’

‘Dad. Mom said I could play too.’

There's very little detail regarding Ethan Brooke. Since Torchwood, he voiced characters for Kinect Disneyland Adventures in 2011. He was uncredited for his character Gray in Exit Wounds in 2008.

Rhys Myers

Young ‘Adam’

‘Can I play? My name’s Adam. Let me play. Before it gets dark.’

Using Jack's last memory of his father and brother on Boeshane Peninsula beach, Adam destroyed the last happy memory Jack held of his family by imposing a Young Adam on the beach, forcing the younger Jack to react badly in front of his father, by pushing the 'young Adam' out of the family game of ball.

Rhys' only credit is as Young Adam in the episode. There is nothing listed before or after this. And believe me, I’ve tried all search channels.
