Biography
Adam Jezierski played Gorka Martínez Mora on the Spanish teen drama 'Física o Química' from 2008 to 2011. Born in Poland in 1990, he moved to Spain as a child and grew up bilingual. The show was a massive hit across Spain and Latin America, tackling controversial issues like drug use and sexuality. Jezierski's portrayal of Gorka — a complex teenager in a leather jacket — made him recognizable to millions. After the series ended, he continued working in Spanish television and film, appearing in shows like 'El Internado' and 'La Casa de Papel.' He has navigated the transition from teen idol to working actor.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Adam was born in 1990, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
