AN ORIGINAL Home and Away soap star has shunned TV fame for a completely different career.
Actor Adam Willits, now 51, made his soap debut in 1988.
He starred in Home and Away's debut episode as foster child Steven Mattheson, who was looked after by Pippa and Tom Fletcher.
Adam's first stint on the show ran until 1991 before he returned as a show regular four years later.
His final guest stint was back in 2008.
Adam continued life on the small screen with roles in TV series All Saints before wrapping filming on his TV career with a role in Rake in 2014.
