Adam Ratcliffe

I am a throw back solo acoustic guitar singer who plays a wide array of music. I am also a professional working actor who is very quick and good with audiences.

Adam Ratcliffe was born and raised in the Philadelphia area to a singer mother. His grandfather appeared in several off-Broadway shows and installed a passion for singing in his youngest grandson.

Adam received his SAG card in 2005 and has been working steadily ever since mostly on prime-time network shows in the New York City area.

In 2012 Adam and his wife tragically lost their first child. A daughter named Alaina who was still born. It was devastating to Adam but he created a short film that told the tragic story with a more positive outcome of reuniting with his daughter in heaven. This won Adam best lead actor in The Philadelphia international film festival in 2014.

He also produced one more short starring Clifton Powell and Brian Anthony Wilson called “Subway Son.” In 2014.In 2019 Adam was cast in 7 major projects all of which are either in the process of streaming or will stream in 2021. Most notably, Manhunt which is currently #2 on Netflix, The Flight Attendant on HBO Max, or the projected 2021 academy award-nominated Judas and the Black Messiah. Recently, Adam has been making a name for himself among Hollywood’s elite casting houses. His feature film lead role debut on the film, Right Before Your Eyes is currently on Amazon prime is Dove approved and is distributed domestically in North America and around the world. Adam was not only the lead in that film but a producer as well having raised funds for color correction and subtitles.

In 2021 Adam has raised a sizable budget and has been producing a documentary on troubled actor Tom Sizemore entitled “Saving Sizemore.”

He also in 2022 produced and starred in (along with remarkable producer, writer actor and friend Kevin Interdonato , Brian Anthony Wilson and many other talents) a great film called “St Michael of the City”

His LLC “Ratcliffe Productions” is quickly gaining a reputation of getting legitimate projects off the ground and into successful production & successful national and international distribution.

Adam is extremely excited to finally bring his screenplay “Subway Son” to life in a full feature format in his hometown!!! It has been a long time coming and he hopes he can welcome so many passionate like minded to be apart of the production in the way of either talents, producers or wherever they fit in the journey that is making a highly anticipated feature!

The group likes to be brief and melodic and conversational. Our guitar player’s wife’s insistence that we, ”make it pretty” has been taken to heart. In addition, Martin reveals some of the stories behind the standards to add another level to the event.
