Adam Kennedy (March 10, 1922 – October 16, 1997) was an American actor, screenwriter, novelist, and painter, who starred as the Irish-American newspaper editor Dion Patrick during the first season, 1957–1958, of NBC's western television series, The Californians. Set in the San Francisco, California, of the 1850s, Patrick in the story line works with the vigilantes to restore order from the unrest created by the miners, the Forty-Niners.
Originally from Otterbein near Lafayette, Indiana, Kennedy graduated from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. He studied acting under Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse in Manhattan.
Kennedy's first acting role, though uncredited was at the age of thirty-three as Yip Ryan, a United States Army pilot in the 1955 film, The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell. The film also starred Gary Cooper as Billy Mitchell and Dayton Lummis as General Douglas MacArthur.
