Here's Adrian with his onscreen big brother, Frankie, played by Billy Warlock.

In 1992, Adrian appeared in the horror film Eye of the Storm which also starred Dennis Hopper and Lara Flynn Boyle. In the story, a traveling couple gets more than they bargain for while seeking refuge in a motel. The proprietors are two brothers who were traumatized as children when they witnessed the murder of their parents. Adrian played Young Steven, the child who watched as his parents were murdered. This was Adrian's biggest TV or movie role.

In what would be the irony of the film, it began with a shot of Steven's eyes, as he hid in the closet of his parent's bedroom, above their motel. Steven was playing hide and seek with his older brother, Ray.

Ray found Steven in the closet and pulled him out. Then Ray decided to take money out of his parent's money box. Steven said he'd tell on Ray. When Ray gave Steven a card with a drawing of a woman on it, Steven told Ray that his secret was safe with him.

Ray and Steven continued their game. Steven counted this time. Ray had left the house and was outside on the road. He saw a man and woman pull up in a car and go into the motel. Steven skip counted his way up to 1,000,000 and said, "Ready or not, here I come."

Steven came downstairs quietly, hoping to sneak up on Ray.

Instead of finding Ray, Steven saw someone with a gun to his mother's head. He stepped back behind the refrigerator to hide.

Adrian's face showed so much emotion as he watched the horror unfold before his eyes. He watched both of his parents being shot at and then stabbed.

After both his mom and dad were dead, the murderers spotted Steven in the mirror. He ran upstairs as fast as he could.

Steven closed the bedroom door, but the murderers kicked it down and were soon in the room with him. The female criminal was played by Ally Walker who currently stars on The Profiler.

Ally's character yelled, "shoot him." Steven was petrified with fear, backing away from the pair but realizing he didn't have a getaway.

Steven suddenly realized that his only way out was through the window. He covered his face with his arms and took a running leap through the window. A stunt man performed the jump and the next time we saw Steven, he was in the pool, bleeding. He had been blinded as a result of his leap and was therefore never able to ID the criminals.
