Adamo Angelo Ruggiero (born June 9, 1986 in Mississauga, Ontario) is a Canadian actor. He is ethnic Italian and has a brother named Adriano.

Ruggiero's first acting role came when he was chosen to play Marco, a gay teen, in the Canadian television hit program Degrassi: The Next Generation, in 2002. Contrary to most other actors in the series, Ruggiero had no previous show business experience before he got the chance to act in the Degrassi.

Ruggiero joined Degrassi in the show's second season in 2002. That same year, Degrassi began to be shown in the United States on The-N cable channel.

Quotes

"I like to go dancing and clubbing. I also watch a lot of movies and relax with friends. I also love going to theater performances with my mom. But when I’m not doing all that, I go rollerblading and biking, and I love talking on the phone and listening to oldies."

"I love pop and dance music. I listen to singers like Britney Spears, 'N Sync,The Used,My Chemical Romance and Destiny’s Child. But I also love oldies. I spend a lot of time listening to artists like Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Aretha Franklin, Petula Clark, Judy Garland and many more."

"I love playing tennis and soccer, but I enjoy rollerblading, biking and swimming the most."

"My character is not this huge complicated guy, but he has his problems, just like every other teenager does. In that aspect, I feel my character is nothing far from real. Thus I feel I can relate to him a lot. I like the way my character acts because he is a sensitive type of guy that is not afraid to show feelings and emotion. And in my opinion, that is true strength."

"No, I wouldn’t change a thing about my character. What makes my character unique are his multiple attributes, good and bad. Plus, my character has cool style in clothing, and he is sensitive and caring… and isn’t that what ladies like in guys? LOL!"

"In grade three my elementary school did a musical. I loved to sing and dance, so I auditioned and got one of the lead roles as a young kid. After doing the show and hearing the applause of the audience, I realized that I had a passion for theater, and I wanted to pursue it. And I did. I have been acting, singing and dancing since I was 7 or 8. I have traveled to many places in the United States and in Canada for multiple competitions. I now go to an arts high school which allows me to learn more about theater everyday, making every day of the week an enjoyable and exciting one. Because there is nothing I would rather spend my time doing than performing."
