Adam is best known for his role as Detective Eric Delko in the hit television show
CSI: Miami. He had a small role lined up in
The Dark Knight Rises, but scheduling conflicts with Steven Soderbergh‘s
Magic Mike resulted on him passing on the part.
Magic Mike is about a veteran male stripper (Channing Tatum) taking a new stripper (Alex Pettyfer) under his wing and showing him the ropes. Matthew McConaughey will be the owner of the club, Xquisite. Adam Rodriguez will be one of the male strippers alongside
White Collar's Matt Bomer, and
True Blood's Joe Manganiello.
In addition to Magic Mike, there’s talk that you’re doing Dark Knight. Is that true?
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to work on Dark Knight because it directly conflicted with the shooting schedule for Magic Mike. There was no way around it. I’m sure it would have been an incredible experience, but I know it worked out for the best.
Fans are pretty excited you’re starring in Magic Mike. What drew you to the role?
The first thing that got my attention was the fact that Steven Soderbergh was directing. Then I read the script and loved the way the premise of a “male stripper movie” was delivered with style. It had edge without taking itself too seriously and humor without making an ass of itself. The roles of the dancers were sprinkled throughout the script with lots of room for improvisation, and I knew it would be something fun to be a part of. I was right. Best time I’ve ever had on a job. Learned a lot and laughed a lot. - celebuzz.com
