Craig Bierko

Craig Phillip Bierko is an American actor mentioned and seen through an Easter egg in Scream 5 (2022 film).

In the Scream universe, it is mentioned he portrayed Cotton Weary, an innocent man on deathrow in the original Stab (1998; incorrectly stated as 1997) film, derived from the eight-part Stab franchise. This means it is most likely he appeared in Stab 2 (1999) and Stab 3: Hollywood Horror (approx. 2006).

The film was adapted from a Gale Weathers best-seller, The Woodsboro Murders (1997) from the "real life" original Woodsboro Murders that largely occurred in 1996.

Behind the Scenes

 * Bierko starred in the horror movie parody series, Scary Movie originally based on parodying Scream, in its fourth installment.
