A proven favorite in comedy clubs, festivals and sitcoms, Adam Ferrara has earned a name for himself as one of today’s leading comedic talents. His popularity as a stand-up has been validated with two American Comedy Award nominations for Best Stand-Up and two “Comedy Central Presents” half-hour specials.

Adam played the role of “Tommy Minetti,” a young NYC detective in the prime-time series.
