In 1948, while visiting New York, 17-year-old Adams wandered into an audition for Seán O'Casey's play "The Silver Tassie" and met Jack Palance (who was understudying for Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar Named Desire"). When Palance, whose father was also a Ukrainian coal miner from Northeastern Pennsylvania, asked why he wanted to act, Adams replied, "For the money." Palance introduced him to the director of "The Silver Tassie" as Nick Adams. After the director declined to hire him as an extra, Palance sent Adams to a nearby junior theater group where he got his first acting job playing the role of Muff Potter in "Tom Sawyer". While trying to get a role in the play "Mister Roberts", Adams had a brief encounter with Henry Fonda. who advised him to get some training as an actor.
