Adam Shapiro has been professionally acting since 2001, at least according to his IMDb account, but he started doing local plays back in elementary school. “I was in Oliver as my first play,” Shapiro shared on the “My First Show” podcast. “And I was one of the kids. And I had one line. And it was, ‘Here’s the books you ordered from the bookseller, sir.'” Unfortunately, his next experience with acting in “The King And I” wasn’t the best. “There was so much costume and so much makeup.. that I fainted just before the first performance,” he recalled.
Fortunately, Shapiro paid his dues early on and eventually kickstarted a successful professional career. Over the years, Shapiro has been attached to dozens of projects, including “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Affair,” and “Never Have I Ever.” Shapiro has also worked with his wife, Katie Lowes, in the award-winning Broadway production “Waitress.” During her segment on “Live! With Kelly and Ryan,” Lowes revealed how she and Shapiro ended up on the same project. After their friend Sara Bareilles — the show’s composer and lyricist — asked if Lowes and Shapiro wanted to be a part of the musical, they agreed to audition. “We got the parts, and now we sing to each other, and [Adam] is amazing,” shared Lowes.
