Adam is deeply hurt by his rebuke, but Stella tells him not to take it personally due to the stress Mac is under with the Clay Dobson case. Taylor forcefully admonishes Adam in front of Stella after the younger man gave key information regarding a case to Deputy Inspector Gerrard (played by Carmen Argenziano), instead of calling Mac down directly. This section is a stub and requires expanding The episode revealed that Adam's father was abused himself. Even though Charles abused Adam and remembers little of their time together, Adam feels obligated to visit him. Adam's father, Charles, appears in The Real McCoy, where he is shown to be suffering from Alzheimer's to the point that he keeps mistaking Adam for his own brother, Brian. It is also mentioned in No Good Deed that he has a sister, though this has not been discussed any further. This is further supported when Adam talks to Mac about his father beating him and his mother. This might explain to some degree his rather characteristic nervousness around figures of authority, such as Supervisors Mac Taylor and Stella Bonasera, despite Adam's wide-ranging scientific knowledge and high qualifications for his job.
He admits that his "father was a bully," indicating that Adam may have been abused as a child.
While observing a suspect on video, he recognizes her instinctual flinch as shying from an anticipated blow. Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, he claims that temperatures below 85 degrees Fahrenheit (roughly 24 degrees Celsius) are cold, and he dislikes snow. He even occasionally accompanies the field operatives to the crime scene in order to aid evidence collection or to assist in reconstruction.
However, his skills are rather eclectic and diverse: Adam also works with trace evidence and has the qualifications and master's degree necessary to run a PCR DNA test to check for the presence of HIV. He makes his first appearance in season two, helping out in the Audio/Visual department. He does, however, gain some degree of confidence in himself when he does something impressive, such as accessing Mac's computer remotely or discovering what the odd combination of substances on a victim's clothing was.
Īdam is very skittish, and most of his speaking consists of him stammering through sentences, sometimes resulting in his going off on tangents and others gently coaxing him back. He also gets very nervous when Mac Taylor is around as he worries Mac will fire him or get very angry at him. This has made him very competitive with his coworkers, as he is constantly worried that his job will be eliminated. Adam is extremely insecure about his job security.
