A renowned figure in his home country of Sweden, Adam began to expand his horizons and take on roles in international productions only about half a decade ago. In 2017, he appeared in Triangle, a TV series directed by Julian Lelissa. 

In 2015, he landed a role in Life in Squares, a three-part series broadcast on BBC Two that featured Eve Best, Ed Birch, and Phoebe Fox. Directed by one of Adam's long-time collaborators, Simon Kaijser, the English-speaking drama revolves around Virginia Woolf's complicated relationship with her sister, Vanessa Bell. 

In addition to a highly successful career as an actor, Adam is also a musician and the former lead singer of a Swedish indie rock band, ÅR&DAR. 

In 2018, he also had the chance to demonstrate his exceptional talents as a singer by landing the lead role in Ted – Show Me Love, a drama charting Swedish pop star and all-round icon Ted Gärdestad's rapid rise to success. 

Young Wallander is available on Netflix now.
