In 2001, Bierko completed his successful run starring in Meredith Wilson's “The Music Man.” Craig's debut on Broadway as the legendary "Harold Hill" garnered critical acclaim and attention.
He was nominated for the prestigious Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, The Drama League Award and was the recipient of The Theatre World Award. Just prior, Bierko appeared in a staged workshop of “Boys From Syracuse” at The Roundabout Theatre.

Bierko has enjoyed a diverse group of film roles, ranging from the villain in Renny Harlin's “The Long Kiss Goodnight” opposite Geena Davis and Samuel L.
