Adam Bitterman

An award-winning stage actor, Adam made his first television commercial at age 5 and has been a member of both SAG and AFTRA (pre-merger) since 1970. He is a graduate of NYU/Tisch School of the Arts where he studied with Stella Adler, David Mamet and William H. Macy. A native Chicagoan, Adam appeared on local stages including The Royal George Cabaret, The Organic, Lifeline, The Piven Theater, The Next (and Next Lab) and City Lit, before moving to Los Angeles in 1997. In addition to his TV and film work, Adam continued to appear on stages in L.A., and was a founding member of Hollywood's acclaimed Sacred Fools Theater Company. In 1997 he received a Drama-Logue Critics Award for directing "Nicholas DeBeubian's The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and in 2002, he received a Garland Award for his performance in "Heaven," both at Sacred Fools. Following the sudden death of his father (renowned artist Richard Bitterman) in 2012, Adam moved back to Chicago. In 2017, he won the Hawk Chicago Theater Award for Best Actor for his role as 'Charley' in "Death of a Salesman" and was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for his role as 'Mick' in "The Seedbed," both at Redtwist Theatre. He continues to act on stage and screen.
