Adam Rodriguez passionately pursued a baseball career until a spinal injury forced him to reassess his life. While rehabilitating his back and doing a bit of soul searching Rodriguez kept himself busy as a construction worker, janitor, bellman and pizza deliveryman. Although his life did not take the course he had anticipated as a youth, Rodriguez persevered. At eighteen, now struggling as a New York stockbroker, Rodriguez finally discovered his new calling. A few acting classes sparked the fire that would guide Rodriguez to the stage.
A small role on "NYPD Blue" helped land Rodriguez his first regular series spot on CBS "Brooklyn South" as Hector, a young gung-ho policeman. Afterward he played Patrick Fortado; a wheelchair-bound computer expert on UPN’s critically acclaimed "All Souls."
Recently, Rodriguez joined the cast of UPN’s sci-fi drama "Roswell" as Jesse Ramirez, a young attorney working for the firm of Isabel and Max Evans' father in Roswell, NM.
Rodriguez’s other television credits include a reoccurring role on "Felicity," "Ryan Caufield: Year One," and "Resurrection Blvd." He can also be seen briefly as the "computer guy" on Jennifer Lopez’s music video "If You Had My Love."
Rodriguez, a New York native, currently lives in Los Angeles. He enjoys reading, writing, and listening to music, "all kinds, from rap to Rachmaninoff."
