TV Adaptation
In the 2002 Disney Channel Original Movie A Ring of Endless Light, Zachary Gray is played by Jared Padalecki. The film version of Zach is less "dark" than the character in the books, both visually (having lighter hair and being less prone to wearing black clothing) and in the way the character behaves. The film Zachary does not cause a death, does not frighten Vicky during a flying lesson, and does not abandon Vicky as he does in the novel, in part because there are no equivalent scenes in the film. Instead he gets reckless driving a boat while Vicky is on it, and stands up to his father about an illegal fishing practice that kills dolphins, a plot thread that does not exist in the novel.

Famous quotes containing the word adaptation:
“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)
