Griffin is a Canadian actor and producer who has been working in the film, theatre, and voice industries for over a decade. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, his creativity was fostered through Theatre Works, Quest Theatre, Calgary Young People's Theatre, Theatre Alberta's ARTSTREK, and Central Memorial Performing and Visual Arts Program. His professional career began at twelve years old, taking on the titular role in A Paintbrush for Piccolo with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and performing in the 1700 seat Jack Singer Concert Hall. Griffin later secured his first film role, acting alongside Matthew Perry (Friends, The Whole Nine Yards) in the feature film The Ron Clark Story. Since then he has worked with Stephen Amell (Arrow, DC's Legends of Tomorrow) and Maggie Grace (Lost, Taken) in the TV Movie When Calls The Heart and Colm Feore (Thor, Chicago) in the feature film Everfall. He has worked with a number of theatre companies including Theatre Calgary, Theatre Junction, The Shakespeare Company, Lunchbox Theatre, Birnton Theatricals, Thou Art Here Theatre, Calgary Opera, Shakespeare By The Bow, W&M Physical Theatre, and the In Arms Theatre Collective. Griffin is the former host of the talk-show Studio 315 on Shaw TV, and can be seen on Heartland (CBC), Abracadavers (The Fantasy Network/Amazon Prime), Pet Heroes (CMTV), and Hug-O-Gram (REVERY, Telus Optik). You may also recognize his voice as Kouji Ibuki on Cardfight! Vanguard, Brutal of the Martial Arts on Futurecard BuddyFight X, and Kibaltes on Futurecard BuddyFight Hundred. Griffin spent a year as the D. Michael Dobbin Apprentice at Alberta Theatre Projects, and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of Alberta in 2019. He was named one of the 10 Lieutenant Governor of Alberta's Emerging Artists in 2020, and one of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts' Top 25 Young Artists in 2017. Griffin won a BroadwayWorld Awards for Best Actor in a Play (Professional) for Becky Modes' one-person show Fully Committed, and was honoured to be the recipient of the Duval Lang Theatre for Young Audience Emerging Leader Award at the 2015 Betty Mitchell Awards. He was named an Arts Champion of Calgary in 2012. He is represented by The Characters Talent Agency.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
