Toledo Ohio native, Tiffany Adams, was raised by her loving and hard working single mother. As early as elementary school, Tiffany Adams was attracted to acting, had found solace in the theater, and has always been very good at it. She recalls the very first standing ovation she received was after delivering Martha's monologue in a local production of the play The Children's Hour. Tiffany's love for the arts lead to her involvement in performing arts programs offered though the public school system. She played violin in the orchestra, studied ballet and jazz, took voice lessons, and acted in a number of musical theatre productions.
As a teenager, Tiffany Adams wanted to be part of the Toledo Repertory Theatre. The tuition was out of her reach, so she auditioned and earned several of their scholarships. She was involved in a number of productions: Peter Pan, A Christmas Carol, A Chorus Line, ect. To this day, Tiffany is convinced that the Toledo Repertory Theatre saved her from a number of bleak possibilities facing a young underprivileged inner-city kid.
By the time Tiffany graduated from high school, she knew she wanted a career in film, and wanted to make movies. She decided to move to New York or L.A. Her mother supported this decision, but encouraged her to be practical by first learning a trade. Together, that is to say, mostly at the decision of her mother, they settled on optics as a feasible trade and solid career choice. As a result, Tiffany studied Ophthalmic Technologies and learned to make eyeglasses, grind lens and dispense contacts. She also continued taking acting classes.
It was around this time, that Tiffany traveled to Texas for a talent competition after hearing that major L.A. casting directors were going to be the judges. She competed with 200 other women in categories for drama, improvisation, commercial, sitcom, and special talents. When the competition came to an end and the judging was complete, one by one, the names of the winners were announced for each category. Tiffany's name was not called. With a broken heart, and tears welling up, she got up to leave. As she exited the doors of the event, the MC announced that there was one final category: the grand prize winner for ALL the categories across the board. He then called out Tiffany's name, but she was too far out the door to hear it. A show volunteer had to run and catch her to tell her she had won. Her trophy was huge. One of the judges was L.A. Casting Director Ricki Maslar. Ricki explained that if she had a SAG card she would be certain to land acting work in Los Angeles. However, because Tiffany had only performed in local theatre, she wasn't yet a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Tiffany, determined as ever, asked Ricki to give her one year to get her SAG card and move to L.A. Ricki agreed.
When Tiffany returned home with her monster trophy, and told her mother about meeting Ricki Maslar, her mom replied, "You're still going to optician school."
Within the next year, Tiffany finished trade school and drove her old Chevy pickup truck across the country to L.A. Fortunately, it didn't break down until after she crossed the California state line.
Within two months of moving to L.A., casting director Ricki Maslar called Tiffany in for a role in the feature film "The Year That Trembled" with Fred Willard, Martin Mull and Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years. Tiffany booked the role. Ironically, the film shot on location back in her home state of Ohio. She fondly remembers returning as a "working SAG actress" who even had her own trailer.
Shortly after that, Tiffany was cast in national commercials for Burger King, Huggies, Hyundai, Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, Nike and the list goes on. Although Tiffany's main work is in TV and film, she remains loyal to her roots, taking theatre roles when she can.
Regardless of what success Tiffany achieves, she still remembers her roots and makes a point to give back and help the youth in less affluent communities. She has been involved in a number of organization that help homeless and poverty stricken children. She also frequently takes time out of her busy schedule to coach and mentor children in the arts.
Today, Tiffany Adams' career continues to reach new heights. She now books starring roles in films with actors such as Danny Trejo and Eric Roberts. She also regularly guest stars in major network primetime shows including CSI: Cyber, Glee, Major Crimes, and many others. In light of her continued and growing success, Tiffany C. Adams is a young actress whose star is rising by leaps and bounds.
