Adam made his big screen debut when he appeared in the first 5 minutes of this critically acclaimed movie. Read on to find out more.
Plot Outline
The life story of Oscar Wilde the 19th Century Playwright, writer and wit. His life, loves, work and imprisonment
Adam's Character
Adam is Jones a Silver Miner. He meets Oscar when he visits the Matchless Silver Mine - where they are opening a new seam named after him. We don't really get chance to see Jones develop a character as he is only in the first 90 seconds of the film. The credits are still rolling. However the script describes him thus -
Oscar opening comment is "I thought I was descending into hell. But with these angel faces to greet me - it must be paradise."
The script then says - "Oscar addresses the miners generally but one young man Jones, gets special glancing attention."
Can you wonder why when you see these pictures of him topless and shiny.
Who else was in the cast?
- Stephen Fry as Oscar Wilde
- Jude Law as Lord Alfred Douglas
- Vanessa Redgrave as Lady Speranza Wilde
- Jennifer Ehle as Constance Wilde
The film was made in 1997. The Silver Mine was meant to be Leadville Colorado but the exterior shots were actually filmed in Finca El Sabinar in Spain.
In passing....
As Adam only has two lines of dialogue
"He killed a man"
and
"Who shot him?"
