Biography

Creed Bratton's multifaceted career in acting and music began to take shape at a remarkably young age. Born in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, he spent his formative years in the charming small town of Coarsegold, nestled near the breathtaking natural beauty of Yosemite, California.

He pursued his passion for drama at the College of the Sequoias and Sacramento State College, where he honed his skills as a drama major. As a teenager, he began playing the guitar professionally, and his musical talents soon took him on a thrilling journey throughout Europe with the band The Young Californians in his twenties.

As a member of the iconic rock group The Grass Roots in the 1960s, Bratton's talents were showcased on numerous television shows and in the Doris Day movie, "With Six You Get Egg Roll." When he parted ways with the band in 1970, he continued to nurture his musical passion, releasing six solo albums to date.

In addition to his musical pursuits, Bratton has also worked extensively in front of and behind the camera, taking on various roles such as prop man, boom man, composer, and grip. His impressive film credits as an actor include "Terri", "Mask", and "Heart like a Wheel", while his television appearances have included hit shows like "The Bernie Mac Show", "Eight Is Enough", and "Quincy".

Bratton's most notable role to date is likely his portrayal of a former rock star in the popular television series "The Office", which cleverly parodies his own life experiences. During his time on the show, he also appeared in several short and independent films that have been accepted into numerous festivals. When not acting, Bratton still performs as a solo artist in clubs, showcasing his remarkable talent to audiences around the world.

Today, Bratton calls Los Angeles his home, where he continues to nurture his passion for acting, music, and performance.
