About Itai

My name is Itai Adam Vagner. I'm an Israeli-American actor, singer, writer and all around funny dude based in NYC. I started out as a stand-up comedian but have since expanded into acting and screenwriting. I wrote several TV pilots including a Historical miniseries called ANSHEL (Semifinalist, Vail Festival Screenplay Competition 2023), the Dramedy THE LAUGHING STOCK (Semifinalist, Stage 32 TV Comedy Screenwriting Contest 2022), and most recently the Satirical Murder Mystery HUNDRED ACRE NOIR. I'm hoping to use this platform to network with different people, get my projects financed, and learn some new skills as an artist in the industry.
