Adam Hurtig was born in August 1985 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. His interest in performing sparked in high school after being thrust into a musical by a long-time family friend and drama teacher. From there he continued his pursuit of the craft in post-secondary education at the University of Manitoba. Although this was a short-lived endeavor, the seed was firmly planted. This brought him to a more individual exploration of performance until ultimately landing in his current passion of film and television. Since then, Adam has appeared in a number of roles such as Flag Day (2021) with Sean Penn, the horror franchise Chucky, in both Curse of Chucky (2013) and Cult of Chucky (2017), The Ice Road (2021) with Liam Neeson, a wide range of romantic comedies, action, and horror movies, and now most recently Spencer Sisters (2023 - TV Series).

When not performing, Adam has a wide range of hobbies and enjoys interior design, carpentry, gardening, writing, and coaching budding actors for film and television.
