In 1996, Adam Goldberg was cast for the starring role of ‘Doug’ in the TV series "Relativity". The show acquired the attention of fans as well as that of director Steven Spielberg. As a result, Spielberg cast him for the WW2 inspired film, Saving Private Ryan, where he played ‘Private Stanley Mellish’.
The exposure led the actor to a Screen Actor’s Guild award nomination for most Outstanding Performance by a Cast and opened his door to Hollywood. That same year, Goldberg concluded a personal project that he wrote, directed, starred in and edited, by the title of "Scotch and Milk".
As an actor in demand, Goldberg landed major roles like "Edtv", "The Salton Sea," "Sunset Strip", "All Over the Guy", and "A Beautiful Mind". In total, Adam Goldberg has appeared in twenty-six movies.
He was 22 yrs old when he made his film debut alongside Billy Crystal in Mr. Saturday Night, followed by a part in Dazed and Confused. Some of his minor roles were in movies such as "Higher Learning" and "The Prophecy". He also did some voice work for "Homeward Bound II".
Goldberg began to study acting when he was only 14 yrs old. He studied at the Tracy Roberts institute for one year before later turning to the Lee Strasburg Institute to further his ability.
After high school, Adam studied at Sarah Lawrence College in New York where he took part in the stage productions such as "Six Characters in Search of An Author", "The Informer" and "In Search of Justice".
