Adam Rothenberg Biography

A specialist at playing sweet-natured husbands and boyfriends, model-cum-actor Adam Rothenberg was born in Tenafly, NJ, and formally trained in New York theater, enjoying roles in on and off-Broadway productions including A Streetcar Named Desire, Birdy, and Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. Rothenburg broke through to international recognition as an on-camera star in 2008 with three roles: that of Katie Holmes' blue-collar husband in the female buddy comedy Mad Money (2008), that of Carter -- a young man who sets out with his brother on a road trip to find their estranged dad -- in the Mariah Carey vehicle Tennessee, and, on the small screen, the role of Augie, the man-Friday of a psychically counseled soulmate seeker on the CBS series The Ex List. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
