LOGAN CREIGHTON (F.M.) Became interested in entertainment at the age of 13 after appearing in his middle school play "Alice in Wonderland." Drama class followed throughout high school. At 16, while living in Omaha, Nebraska he began playing the Bass Guitar. Creighton's first gig with a cover band would happen a year later.

Moving back to Portland, Oregon in 1989 Creighton continued to play music. This would cumulate with the release of his first cd with the Portland band C.R.O.W. All this changed in 1997 when he began returned his thoughts to acting. "I was a bit burned out with the music. I love watching movies so I though why not. I sold most of my music gear and off I went."

In 1998 took six months of acting classes and workshops, and hasn't looked back since. Logan learns best by jumping into things and that is what he did. Landing the first role he read for, Creighton has gone on to work in other Portland independent films such as Cory Lee's Next Big Thing and Ray Steers' Sum of The Parts. After taking only a week off from Sum of The Parts, Creighton jumped into the lead role of F.M. in The Sexy Chef.

Creighton had this to say about playing the lead role, "F.M. is very internal. He's a bottler. He bottles everything up! Mix that with a frustrated sense of going nowhere fast and you have a tight emotional, internalized knot. We all have done this to ourselves for at least one moment in our lives. The best part of F.M. to me is that, under all that he is a dreamer. He's a good guy. I felt a kinship to F.M. I didn't have much preparation time, but I had fun. And that's really why we are all part of madness, right?"

In September 2001 Creighton began shooting two independent feature films in the lead roles, at the same time, Chris Parkhurst's The Cascades and Jon Howbrook's Queen of Hearts. The movies' are polar opposites, The Cascades would have him playing a Hollywood reporter investigating a missing persons' mystery, while Queen of Hearts would have him in a kilt and bowler hat, as an accountant. Both films wrapped almost one year later in 2002.
