Telvin Griffin

Telvin was born and raised in Texarkana, Arkansas. Growing up his parents knew their son would do something in the entertainment industry but above everything, education was the number one priority for him and his family. He's always had a microphone in his hand, talking to imaginary audiences at home, which was the beginning of this becoming natural for him. Griffin grew up in church playing the piano and saxophone during his time in middle and junior high bands. While attending high school, Telvin learned how to speak in front of a camera, being selected as the school's news anchor for morning announcements. After graduating high school he attended the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to study broadcast journalism where he was also on the football team as wide receiver for three seasons. After graduating college he started working with his first agent in Dallas, Texas, so he could be closer to more acting opportunities, which proved to be a great decision. In just the short span of his career so far, Telvin has booked many national commercials and television projects including the National Spokesman for "Black People Meet dot com" and the Emmy-Award-Winning comedy Blackish. Also, booking a solid guest star on Fox's Deputy. His goal and purpose in life is to inspire others. One strongly held belief is if you just stick to your dreams and goals, with hard work and consistency and waiting on God, all will come to fruition.
