After finally seeing the season premiere of Being Erica, are you as intrigued as we are about the new guy on the time-traveling therapy scene? Tough, smart, and super-cute, we think Adam is exactly the kind of challenge "Phase Two" Erica needs.

We recently had the opportunity to email with the man behind Adam Fitzpatrick ... Adam Fergus! Read what he had to say about joining the cast, his character, and opening doors, below.

As a result he turned to a life of violence and crime and is completely emotionally detached from the world. I, on the other hand, had great parents who gave me everything they possibly could and two wonderful sisters who I'm very close to.
