Adam has said:
My dad is Jewish, Russian, Dutch and Polish… and my mom is Catholic and Filipino. I was raised Catholic and went to a Jesuit high school. Most people think I’m Latino. Right away they say, ‘Oh, are you Cuban or Dominican?’ I’ve gotten everything under the sun, to be honest. I see myself as American, in the sense that I’m a mix—and I’ve been able to use that to play a variety of roles.
Adam’s paternal grandmother was named Estelle Dorothy (likely Moss).
