From large studio projects to gritty independent films, Adam Baldwin has been cast in over 60 feature films in the past 25 years.  He is best known for his role as the larger-than-life "Jayne Cobb" in Joss Whedon's sci-fi pic, Serenity, inspired by the television series, Firefly.

Adam was discovered by Tony Bill and the late Don Devlin while a teenager in Chicago.  They chose him from 4,000 aspiring actors to play the title role in My Bodyguard (1980).  Later that year, Adam caught Robert Redford's attention and was cast in Ordinary People, along with Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland, and Mary Tyler Moore.

Adam went on to work with Stanley Kubrick in Full Metal Jacket, which many consider the greatest war film of all time.  He collaborated with director Roland Emmerich and writer/producer Dean Devlin on Independence Day and played alongside Mel Gibson in The Patriot.  He has worked with Robert DeNiro and Lawrence Kasdan, The Sopranos' Lorraine Bracco in Richard Donner's Radio Flyer, and with Kevin Costner in Lawrence Kasdan's Wyatt Earp.

On television, Adam has played great all-American characters, as in HBO's acclaimed Earth To The Moon, produced by Tom Hanks; Smokejumpers; and In The Line Of Duty.  He starred in The Cape (playing an astronaut) and in Francis Ford Coppola's Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.

Sci-fi audiences know Adam well from his lead and recurring roles on The X-Files (final two seasons), Angel (final six episodes), and, of course, Joss Whedon's Firefly.

In the fall of 2004, Adam starred in the remake of The Poseiden Adventure, a story about a cruise ship which succumbs to a terrorist act and capsizes on New Year's Eve. A ragtag group of survivors, spearheaded by a priest and a homeland security agent, must journey through the upside-down vessel and attempt an escape.

Recently, Adam Baldwin joined the cast of Fox's drama series, The Inside. The Inside, from 20th Century Fox Television and studio-based Imagine Television, centers on a young, ambitious FBI agent, Rachel Nichols, who is assigned to the agency's Los Angeles Violent Crimes Division. Baldwin plays a tough, seasoned FBI agent, a man's man with 25 years on the job.

Adam Baldwin currently stars as Major John Casey, a National Security Agent, whose main objective is protecting Chuck Bartowski and the vital government information stored in his brain in NBC's action-comedy, Chuck.
