Mini Biography
Nick Adams was born on July 10, 1931 in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. Although he never achieved major leading man status in Hollywood, Nick Adams had a busy career in both motion pictures and television. His style of acting was quite energetic, and he was especially good at portraying cocky, troubled characters. His involvement in monster and horror films was not surprising as he loved monster movies as a kid. He summarized his acting philosophy in an interview with Modern Monsters magazine in 1966: "I get a kick out of acting. I don’t care what the story is, as long as the story has merit. I enjoy acting and I try to do the same job in a lower budget picture as in a so-called ‘epic’. If an actor is good, he’ll be good in whatever he does. If he’s not, $50 million won’t make him any better." Among his films were Picnic, Rebel Without a Cause, The Hook, Young Dillinger, and Die Monster Die (with Boris Karloff). He "supposidly" committed suicide by drug overdose in 1968 for reasons unknown. Nick Adams signed a multi-picture deal with Toho in 1964 after actor David Jansen, having signed a similar deal with Toho, had second thoughts about working in Japan and decided to back out. He appeared in two Toho science fiction films in 1965, as Astronaut Glenn in Monster Zero and as American scientist Dr. James Bowen in Frankenstein Conquers the World. He was well-liked among the staff and cast alike during his time in Japan, and often partied and kidded around with his co-stars. During the filming of Monster Zero, he once asked Yoshio Tsuchiya if he could get Toshiro Mifune to dub his voice in Japan to which Tsuchiya answered, "Sure, can you get Henry Fonda to do mine?" Monster actor Haruo Nakajima reminisced, "Nick Adams seemed like a real nice guy and a real family man... he always brought his wife with him to the studio. But every year it was a different wife!" Director Honda, who worked with him on two films, respected Nick’s abilities and offered this praise, "He was a very passionate actor with some very good ideas. There should’ve been two or three more films with Mr. Adams, monsters or not (if he had not died prematurely)." As Astronaut Glenn in Monster Zero, his Japanese voice was dubbed by Goro Naya who would later become famous as the voice of Detective Zenigata in the Lupin III animated tv series.
