Adam Johannas Hochstetter, the talented individual behind "The Who? Was Show", was born on November 27, 2000, in Madison, Wisconsin. As a child, he was naturally drawn to performing, likely influenced by his mother, Alene-Marie Hochstetter, a dance teacher and performer in the renowned "Siegfried & Roy" show, who also holds a Guinness World Record for the most dancers on point simultaneously.
Adam's father, Kenneth Allan Hochstetter, is a professor of philosophy with a master's and doctorate degree, teaching at the College of Southern Nevada and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Early in his acting career, Hochstetter took on roles such as "Riley King" in "The Massively Mixed-Up Middle School Mystery" and "Steven" in "Alex's Morgan's" "The Kick's". He attended Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, but had to switch to an online schooling program due to scheduling conflicts for "The Kick's".
After high school, Hochstetter landed the role of series lead in Netflix's "The Who? Was Show", where he played a range of characters, including Blackbeard, Benjamin Franklin, Galileo Galilei, and approximately 37 additional historical and fictional characters.
Hochstetter has also made an appearance in the popular Disney show "Stuck in The Middle", playing the boyfriend and love interest of a main cast member's character.
