* DawsonCasting: Often plays characters in their early twenties that are 5-10 years younger than his actual age.
* HeReallyCanAct: He seemed destined to play one-dimensional supporting characters after making a career out of it, but acting on Modern Family has allowed him to demonstrate his skills at acting in romantic and dramatic scenes.



* PlayingAgainstType: His role on [[Series/ModernFamily Modern Family]] is unquestionably this. Many people have praised Adam's acting ability, that a guy known for playing [[TheSociopath mean, hateable characters]] also can play such a lovable and kind-hearted guy with complete authenticity. The contrast between his role as Andy and [[Film/PitchPerfect Bumper]], for instance, is so stark that many people have commentated their disbelief that they are played by the same actor.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: In June 1995, when he was 11, Adam was hit by a 42-tonne cement truck crossing the street with his bike. He woke up 2 weeks later to discover that he had broken all the bones in his legs and would have to learn how to walk again. It eventually took him 2 years before he could successfully walk again, after 26 surgeries, multiple infections and significant time in a wheelchair. It was later discovered that the only thing that prevented him from being killed that day was '''''that his bike was on his right side of his body''''' and thus took the full force of the impact.
