All About Adam
Adam Vignola, a Stamford Connecticut native, is the son of a turn-around
manager,
and in what seems like perfect preparation for life on a film set, he
grew up in a large Italian/Irish family, four brothers and two sisters
in all. He attended Catholic schools, and after high school Vignola
began to learn the discipline necessary to be a director when he
enlisted in the service.
Stationed in Fort Benning, Georgia, he soon became an Airborne Ranger in
the Special Forces Unit, jumping out of planes and visiting third world
countries. He valiantly participated in both the "Just Cause" invasion
of Panama in 1990 and the "Desert Storm" invasion of Iraq in 1991.
Vignola earned many badges, ribbons, commendations, and medals for his
meritorious service.
After his service, Vignola attended college
at New York University and graduated with a degree in philosophy, while
simultaneously taking acting classes at NYU.
Those classes, informed by his experience in the world, are what led
Vignola to his career as an actor, writer and director.
Vignola has appeared in film with roles
in John McTiernan's THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR; in Hype Williams acclaimed
BELLY; and in Amos Kollek's Berlin Film Festival award-winner, SUE,
among several other titles. On television, Vignola has been seen in the
hit shows MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, LAW AND ORDER, and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.
Some of Vignola's stage appearances include roles in OLEANNA and RICHARD
III. IN addition to his acting, writing and directing careers, Vignola
is also a wine importer. With his energy and diverse background, Vignola
can best be summed up as a smart edgy actor with a Wall Street smile and
a military bearing. TILL DEATH is Vignola's first foray into directing.
