Niko Vitacco

Niko Vitacco is a Chicago-born actor, writer, and producer with a passion for emotionally
resonant storytelling. He is best known for his award-winning lead role and producer credit on
The Elephant in the Room, which earned accolades including “Best Comedy Duo” (LA Film
Awards), “Emerging Talent” (Alaska International Film Festival), and “Best Acting Debut” (Flicks
Film Festival). His recent work includes national commercials and a recurring role in the Merrell

A proud alumnus of The Second City, Niko began his career in Chicago before moving to Los
Angeles, where he continued training at The Groundlings and Improv Olympic West, and
studied the Warner Loughlin acting technique. In 2022, he founded Frunchroom Films to
develop projects that reflect the complexity of family life, fatherhood, and resilience. His debut
feature, Guys Night, is currently in late development under fiscal sponsorship from IFA Chicago
and has received early support from the local community and industry partners. As a filmmaker
and performer, Niko is dedicated to using storytelling as a tool for connection, healing, and
social impact.
