Mini Biography
A mid-western all American actor/filmmaker in the tradition of Quentin Tarantino, Adam Ropp's simple, yet magnificent body of work exists respectfully as a revolutionary way of filmmaking in inverse proportion to his cultural resonance. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Adam Gene Ropp started directing successfully at the ripe old age of 17 by winning Nine "Best Picture" film festival awards with one movie Last Conversation (2003). This was his directorial debut and from the foundation made him an upstart, proving him not to be underestimated (which would later follow). In 2004, Ropp jumped in front of the camera starring as Smile Crook in "The Great Train Robbery" written by Edwin S. Porter, the same man who wrote "The Crucible" starring Clint Eastwood. Later, Ropp scored a Best Actor Nomination at the 2004 BBIFF for his role as 'Brad' in Electric Night Entertainments, The Man on the Side of the Road (2004). How much of Ropps' character was an expression of his "intense acting method" as opposed to a creation of the character he was playing will never really be known, and to a certain extent is the blurring of such boundaries that makes Ropps' acting unpredictable and an enigma. In 2005 Ropp co-starred and placed 5th on credits in the comedy "Cerebral Print: the secret files" which had a major city theatrical release and co-starred Vicky Jensen, director of "Shrek" and Shark tale".
