Michael Cyril Creighton

BIO

Creighton works regularly in film, television and theatre alternating between comedic and dramatic roles. Sarah Larson of The New Yorker says "Creighton has a gift for expressing the tension between the desire to connect and the desire to protect oneself."



On the stage, Creighton's credits include the world premiere of Jordan Harrison's "The Amateurs" at Vineyard Theater and the New York Premiere of Sarah Ruhl's Stage Kiss at Playwrights Horizons. For his portrayal of Kevin in Stage Kiss, he was named a "Face to Watch" by The New York Times and nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play. He has worked numerous times with the Brooklyn-based theater company The Debate Society, originating several roles.

As a writer, in addition to creating and starring in the Writers Guild Award-winning web series Jack in a Box (2009–2012), he wrote and guest starred in an episode of the popular web series High Maintenance created by Katja Blichfeld & Ben Sinclair. The episode is called "Helen".

He was a founding member of the New York Neo-Futurists and performed weekly in Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind.
