Michael Cyril Creighton has seen big screen success, working on projects like the Academy Award-winning film "Spotlight" and the action comedy "Game Night." But he's spent most of his career stealing the small screen with his comedic skills. Some may recall his brief role as a salesman during Season 5 of "30 Rock" or as a store manager in Season 1 of "Orange is the New Black."
In 2017, his comedic skills and charm would take him into the heist genre as he stepped into the shoes of teacher Mr. Rankin in the Netflix film "Coin Heist," which follows a group of high schoolers as they plan to rob the U.S. Mint. Creighton told Decider, "It's nice to be in something that like, my entire family can watch and I don't have to warn them about anything other than I'm mean."
In 2021, he would be spotted working alongside Michael C. Hall in Showtime's highly anticipated crime drama "Dexter: New Blood," which finds Dexter Morgan taking on the persona of Jim Lindsay 10 years after Morgan's disappearance. Creighton plays Fred Jr., Lindsay's boss at Fred's Fish & Game in Iron Lake, New York. Storylines filled with crime, murder, and mystery continue to pop up in Creighton's credits, including one particular project that gives him the opportunity to explore comedy in the world of mystery.
