Adam Demos is an Australian actor born May 24, 1985. He is best known for his role as Jake Taylor on the Netflix film Falling Inn Love, August Walker on the American television series Unreal and Nate Baldwin on Australian television series Janet King.
Adam Demos was born in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. He graduated from Dapto High School in 2003. While he was interested in acting at an early age, he first worked as a construction laborer in his father's demolition business until he enrolled in an acting class at Screenwise Film & TV Acting School when he was 23. In an interview, he said that his mother was the one who searched for the drama school in Sydney.
Demos previously played small roles in Australia when his big break came. In 2017 Demos was cast to play Nate Baldwin in the ABC Australia drama Janet King. On the set, Demos found out about a role in Hollywood explicitly written for an Australian actor. He got the gig and flew to Vancouver to start filming the third season of Lifetime's UnREAL. Demos stated that it was a confusing experience filming UnREAL, his first international production, as the director told him "you're not going to understand what's about to happen so just go with it" due to the complex nature of the show.
In 2019, he starred opposite Christina Milian in Netflix's Falling Inn Love which was shot in New Zealand.
In 2020, Demos filmed the Netflix series Sex/Life, inspired by the book “44 Chapters About 4 Men” by BB Easton, in Toronto, Canada. Demos was cast in the show with the help of Stacy Rukeyser, whom he had worked with on UnREAL and was the showrunner for Sex/Life. Discussing the intimate scenes in the show, Demos stated "We would have an intimacy coordinator and everyone would speak about it and their comfort levels. You would rehearse it so much that by the time you did it, it was a lot more comfortable than you'd assume. You discuss everything: hand movements, everything down to the breath. In sex scenes, the breathing is an emotional thing, so you're discussing that journey, but then you're also discussing each individual's comfort level".
