Local Boy Becomes Movie Stunt Artist

Local lad, Adam Rhys Williams, grew up in Garden Village Wrexham and attended Watts Dyke Primary School, then Darland High School in Rossett. He went on to study Media at Coleg Cambria, where during his course, he made a short film which concluded with him jumping out of a bathroom window onto strategically placed boxes and settee cushions!

After college, he passed all four phases required to be an Elite Action Performer at the British Action Academy - the UK’s leading screen action training academy providing industry recognised action courses for those looking to enter into the film and TV industry.

Recently, Adam worked on a British action comedy-drama called ‘Polite Society’, written and directed by Nida Manzoor. As Fight Coordinator, he taught the actresses fight routines and had a fight scene in the film with the lead actress, Priya Kansara.

Adam has recently been accepted onto the British Stunt Register as a trainee. A great achievement for all the hours he has put in to reach his goal and is well on his journey to become a Stunt Performer - his parents are very proud of him!
