Adam J. Bernard

Adam J. Bernard (born 18 November 1988) is a British actor and singer, known for his work on stage.

In 2016 he originated the role of Jimmy Early in the West End theatre production of Dreamgirls.[1] In his review for The Daily Telegraph, critic Dominic Cavendish stated "No one seems to break into a sweat. Adam J Bernard – a Brit – as the disreputable womanising Jimmy Early, a pelvic-thrusting charmer in the James Brown mould, sends his legs into entertainingly electrified spasms and somehow manages to hold a note and attempt the splits at the same time".[2] Lyndsey Winship of The Guardian states he has a "fantastic voice and comic chops".[3]

He won the 2017 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical for his performance in Dreamgirls.[4]

His debut in a feature film in a leading role was in Six Rounds, a film about the 2011 London Riots, which was released in April 2017.
