Craig Phillip Bierko is an American actor mentioned and seen through an Easter egg in Scream (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 novel, The Woodsboro Murders (1997) from the "real life" original Woodsboro Murders that largely occurred in 1996.
