From playing Jayne Cobb to Major John Casey, Adam Baldwin has been on our TV screens for years starring in Firefly and Chuck and making apearences in episodes of some of the top US shows such as CSI, Bones, NCIS, The X Files and so much more. He is great at playing the tough guy in Chuck maybe hes to good at doing it, He is my favourite character on the show I love the way Casey is the Bully but also has a soft side (although we dont see it often).
Adam hasn't been on TV all his life back in the 1980's (So long ago now) he appeared in one of my favourites and one of the all time great Film Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket in which he played Animal Mother. "You talk the talk. Do you walk the walk?"

Adam Baldwin has great talent, and the greatest jaw in American history. ...Continue »
This guy appears in every single one of my fav shows, always giving a great performance even if it's a short 10 line part. Stargate Sg-1, Bones, NCIS, and of course the famous Chuck that I look forward to each week, he plays a sophisticated guy every time so perfectly. I don't think this guy gets enough credit, but I certainly would place him in my top five =-). The last episode I saw him in, it shows his more emotional side which I didn't think he could play, but he did very well and it turned out to be a great episode! Presently, I'm waiting yet again for the next Chuck episode to come on in half an hour so I can see his handsome face again.

Adam Baldwin is one of the unknown Baldwin brothers. I honestly have not seen too much of his work, but I thought he was great in "Full Metal Jacket," "Independence Day" and "The Patriot."

He is an amazing actor and was fantastic in Angel and the Firefly/Serenity stufff. Not the kinda guy i'd go for but always seems to play pretty cool characters which can keep you interested. ...Continue »
Was very good, cooky and intertesting in Firefly and Serenity as Jayne Cobb and it was amazing to see so mayny layers as in Angel he was pretty stiff kinda character obviously cause it was required but was refreshing and surprising to see the many levels the man can play to. Has some pretty cool credits and Hey if you can get into the CSI programs then your pretty cool and a cool actor except for the Kevin Federline mistake. However that fool got inot it surprises me. If you havent seen firefly go buy it now cause you'll get it at amazingly low prices and it is really worth it cause it is fantastic.
