It's possible that some viewers may primarily recognize Adam Stephenson from his role in "The Purge" — not the 2013 movie, that is, but the now-cancelled "Purge" TV series which aired for two seasons on USA Network. Taking on a semi-anthological format to tell various stories of different people affected by Purge nights in a not-too-distant alternate future, the show's sizable cast list included Stephenson in a recurring role throughout its first season.
Stephenson primarily plays into the section of the show's story devoted to Amanda Warren's Jane Barbour, a finance worker who resorts to some unsavory Purge-sanctioned methods to advance her standing within her own company. For several episodes, Stephenson portrays Mark Cantoff, one of Jane's co-workers who is similarly minded about using The Purge to get what he wants. Things don't end up working out too well for Mark, however, as he eventually falls prey to the disturbing machinations of another co-worker, Alison (Jessica Miesel).
