ADAM BUSCH currently stars on TBS's series Men at Work and is the lead singer of the indie folk band Common Rotation. He got his start as a teenager, landing his first film role in Léon: The Professional (1994). He then had a recurring role on the children's series The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo. Since then, Adam has appeared on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, House, Grey's Anatomy, Law and Order, The Jury, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. We discussed therapy, angst, narcissism, fear of success and fear of failure, and the joy and self indulgence of show biz. This is part 2 of our candid conversation and, yes, I will only release part 1 if the public demands it, albeit politely.
