Adamo RuggieroAdamo Angelo Ruggiero (born December 14, 1986), better known as Adamo Ruggiero, is a Canadian actor. He is Italian by his parents' side, and he has a brother named Adriano. Ruggiero was born in Mississauga, Ontario. Ruggiero became famous when he was chosen to play Marco in the Canadian television hit program , 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 series. His character is a homosexual boy who leads a heterosexual lifestyle, but suffers inside because he is scared he won't be accepted by his friends if he "comes out". Therefore, he dates girls, hangs out with a group of guy friends, and keeps his homosexuality a secret for a long time. Once he confesses to be gay, he faces criticism by one of his buddies, and is actually beaten up by a group of gay-haters while walking on his way to a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game. Ruggiero joined Degrassi in the show's second season. That same year (2002, when Ruggiero began working on the show), American rights to Degrassi: The Next Generation were bought by American television company ABC, which, in turn, decided to air the series on its teenage oriented channel, The N. The show became a hit in the United States as well, helping Ruggiero gain some fame there as well. Ruggiero, Adamo Ruggiero, Adamo
