Five things Adam is not fond of: Giant centipedes in my bedroom late at night, the smell of dog meat soup, secret Communist agents, chimpanzee poop in my hair, and popular fashion trends.The character Adam would most like to play in a Star Wars film: A Hutt gangster, because scoundrels are the most fun!
