Adam is a character in the James Bond film, Live and Let Die, and is portrayed by Tommy Lane.

Tommy Lane as Adam in ‘Live and Let Die’.

He is an underling of Dr Kananga/Mr Big but mainly receives his instructions from Tee Hee; in some ways he can be considered the latter’s (non-mechanical) right hand. He first appears at the airport where Bond and Solitaire are captured and then leads Mr Big’s men in pursuing Bond at the alligator farm. He steals a speedboat from Sheriff JW Pepper’s brother-in-law Billy Bob to chase Bond and, at the climax of the chase near an abandoned LST, is doused in petrol by Bond. Disoriented by this attack, he manoeuvres his boat inside the landing ship and is killed in the subsequent explosion.
