Adam Baldwin has amassed an impressive and expansive range of film roles totaling over 60, from large studio projects to gritty independents. As a teenager in Chicago, he was chosen from among 4,000 aspiring actors to play the title role of Ricky Linderman in the 1980 feature film, "My Bodyguard," starring Matt Dillon. During that same year he caught the attention of Robert Redford and was cast in "Ordinary People," opposite Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland and Mary Tyler Moore.

Baldwin went on to work with the legendary Stanley Kubrick as Animal Mother in "Full Metal Jacket." Besides Kubrick, throughout the years Baldwin has worked with many of Hollywood's most talented and successful actors and directors, including Robert De Niro in "Guilty By Suspicion," Mel Gibson in "The Patriot" and Kevin Costner in Lawrence Kasden's "Wyatt Earp." He also starred in "Independence Day" and Richard Donner's "Radio Flyer," with Lorraine Bracco.

Television has been a great medium for Baldwin, as he has appeared in projects that include HBO's acclaimed miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon," executive produced by Tom Hanks, the telefilms "In the Line of Duty: Smoke Jumpers" and Francis Ford Coppola's "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," and the series "The Cape." He also starred in the series "The Inside" and guest starred on "Bones" and "CSI: Miami."

In the sci-fi world, audiences know Baldwin for his starring role on "Firefly," recurring roles on "The X-Files," "Angel" and "The Visitor," and guest starring roles on "Stargate SG-1" and the new "The Outer Limits." He followed up his "Firefly" character once again in Joss Whedon's motion picture, "Serenity."
