Growing up as an only child in Plainfield, New Jersey, Alonzo Adams spent a lot of time by himself. A rare condition required him to have two nose surgeries, further isolating him from other kids. But he found a friend in drawing. By fifth grade, he said, he realized he had “a God-given talent.” Years later, he went to Rutgers University to study engineering to fulfill his mother’s wishes for him.
While working on commission as an appliance salesman, he saved a woman hundreds of dollars on equipment and warranties she did not need. He said she reminded him of his mother “and I just couldn’t let her leave knowing she was wasting money.” About six months later, the woman took the first-ever newspaper article about Adams as an artist to the set of “The Cosby Show,” where her son had scored a job as an extra.
