Born in the east of England, Adam Basil's interests in theatre were present from a young age, and throughout his early life he both studied and performed traditional British theatre, and later studied acting technique under Ivanna Chubbuck in Los Angeles, California. However, due to his unusually high levels of athleticism, he moved into the world of creature work, soon amassing an impressively large number of credits on some of the biggest films of the twenty-first century. He was cast by Bill Condon to portray the creature version of "The Beast" in Disney's 2017 "Beauty and the Beast", and due to his unique abilities in the worlds of physical theatre and advanced embodiment of Chubbuck acting techniques, he was personally selected by Andy Serkis to bring Marvel's Venom to life in "Venom 2: Let There be Carnage". Later, he became a well known internet sensation for his terrifying portrayal of "The Bloater" in HBO's blockbuster series "The Last of Us" and has recently wrapped filming playing a recurring character on season three of Apple TV's newest Sci-fi series "Foundation". His acting skills have transcended beyond the world of film as well, and he voiced the titular character of "Judge Dread" in the Penguin Audio Books of the Judge Dread Series.
