Adrian Zmed on AllMovie

Wiry, curly haired comic actor Adrian Zmed got his professional start in his native Chicago. One of Zmed's first important film roles was in Grease 2 (1982); he returned to the Grease fold 15 years later, touring the East Coast in a revival of the original musical. His TV series credits include the sitcoms Flatbush (1979) and Goodtime Girls (1980), and, most famously, the role of rookie cop Vince Romano in T.J. Hooker (1982-1985). A fan since childhood of Chicago's Bozo's Circus kiddie series, Adrian Zmed realized a lifelong dream when, in the late '80s, he was briefly engaged by the series to play Adrian the Clown.
