Adam Daniels

Adam Daniels always wanted to be two things when he was growing up – both Superman and an actor. Realizing they could both happen simultaneously, he became a professional actor for film, TV, animation and theatre productions.

On Oct. 5, 2021, ATF special agent Adam Daniels was shot in the head while trying to apprehend a federal drug suspect in Nashville. Within nine minutes after being wounded he arrived at VUMC’s emergency department; this fact helped reduce damage to his brain significantly.

He is now back on duty, yet still receives occupational and physical therapy from VUMC on an outpatient basis. Recently he and his wife Krystyna Barnard Daniels met with Englot to express their thanks for the lifesaving care he received there. Additionally, The National Police Defense Foundation established a fund to assist his family with out-of-state travel and lodging expenses during his long recovery journey; this initiative is non-profit but tax deductible.
