Brevard Talent Group Presents: From Audition to Booking # 62 Adam Vernier in The Runarounds
Many of you know Adam as a friend, fellow actor and owner, coach & teacher at Book It Studios. Adam's credits include recurring role on Queen Sugar, The Wonder Years and The Right Stuff to name a few.
Adam said "Working on the new Prime show, The Runarounds was an absolute blast! I’d already teamed up with Jonas Pate (creator/director) on Outer Banks, where my character lasted six episodes in season 1 and 2 before meeting a very dramatic end. So when Jonas brought me back for his new project, I was thrilled—this time as "Coach Johnson", the high school golf coach who doesn’t exactly radiate warm-and-fuzzy vibes. Multiple scenes, plenty of barking orders, and yes, I leaned hard into my inner drill sergeant.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. "Of course he’s going to say the cast and crew were great. Everyone says that.” And you’re right—usually people say that just to be polite. But in this case this group really was the best of the best. A lot of them were the same incredible folks I’d worked with on OBX, so stepping onto set felt less like a new job and more like a family reunion—just with way less fake blood in my hair and nobody shooting me in the chest.
Another highlight of shooting in Wilmington, NC was hanging out with my longtime friend Rus Blackwell, who was there as the cast’s acting coach. Getting to work and see a good buddy at the same time? It’s like booking a role and finding out lunch is catered by your favorite restaurant.
A huge shout out to The Fincannon’s and their entire office. They’ve been booking me for years - back when auditions meant long road trips to the Carolinas for callbacks. Years before Zoom existed, when actors had to drive places out of state for auditions and callbacks.
In a business that’s always changing, and especially during these slow stretches, it feels extra sweet to land a gig like this. I’m grateful, I’m pumped, and I can’t wait for people to see how much fun we had making this show! Oh, and I am SOOOOOOO ready for whatever is next!".
