Adam Whisner

After completing his Theatre Arts BA at the University of Iowa in 1993, Adam was accepted into the Acting Apprentice Company at the Actors Theatre of Louisville. After a brief stint with a touring puppet theatre company in Cincinnati, OH, he moved to Minneapolis in 1995, to start a theatre acting career he assumed would lead him to New York. By mid-1996, however, he was working full-time doing theatre, commercial TV and radio, and industrial video and voice work. He took time off from theatre from 2002-2007, to play guitar in the rock band he started, but returned to the stage in late 2008. Adam lives in NE Minneapolis with his lovely and talented actress wife, Amanda, their Husky-mix dogs, Sammy and Tessa, a Triumph Bonneville and a 2007 Honda VFR800 Interceptor.
