Adam Demos (born 24 May 1985)[2][3] is an Australian actor. He is best known for his roles as August Walker on the American television series UnREAL (2018) and Brad in the Netflix series Sex/Life (2021–2023).[4][5]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Adam Demos was born in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. His father is of Greek descent.[6] He attended Tarrawanna Public School and graduated from Dapto High School in 2003.[6][7] He is the cousin of Australian basketball player Tyson Demos.[8]

Although Demos was interested in acting at an early age, he first worked as a construction laborer in his father's demolition business, the Wollongong steelworks, a roofing company, and in Bondi's Hotel Ravesis.[9][7] He enrolled in an acting class at Screenwise Film & TV Acting School in Sydney when he was 23, but was worried his friends would mock him so kept it a secret.[10][11][9] His mother encouraged him to pursue acting.[12]

Career

[edit | edit source]

In 2012, Demos played the role of 'Solo Man' in the iconic advertising for the Australian soft drink brand.[13][9]

Demos previously played small roles in Australia. In 2017, Demos was cast to play Nate Baldwin in the ABC Australia drama Janet King. On set, Demos found out about a role in Hollywood explicitly written for an Australian actor. He was cast and flew to Vancouver to start filming the third season of Lifetime's UnREAL.[12][8] Demos stated that it was a confusing experience filming UnREAL, his first international production, as it was a TV show within a TV show.[14]

In 2019, Demos starred opposite Christina Milian in Netflix's Falling Inn Love which was shot in New Zealand.[11]

In 2020, Demos filmed the Netflix series Sex/Life, inspired by the book 44 Chapters About 4 Men by BB Easton,[15] in Toronto, Canada.[16] Demos was cast in the show with the help of Stacy Rukeyser, whom he had worked with on UnREAL and was the showrunner for Sex/Life. To prepare for the scene where he sings "Heartbeats", Demos took singing and guitar lessons.[17][18] His full-frontal nude scene in episode 3 of the series went viral on social media platforms.[19][20][21]

In May 2022, A Perfect Pairing was released on Netflix, starring Victoria Justice alongside Demos. The film tells the story of an American wine company executive who travels to Australia to land a major client and ends up sparking a connection with a man she meets on a sheep farm.[22]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

In 2021, Demos revealed that he was dating American actress Sarah Shahi, his co-star on the Netflix show Sex/Life.[23][24][25] In April 2025 it was reported that their relationship had ended.[26]

His interests include cryotherapy, after first trying it in Los Angeles,[27] and travelling.[7]
