Telvin Griffin

Born and raised in Texarkana, Arkansas, as a child Telvin's parents knew their son would do something within the entertainment industry. He's always had a microphone in his hand talking to an imaginary audience inside his home. Most of Telvin's family thought he would grow up to be a pastor but God had other plans for Telvin's life. Telvin grew up in the church playing the piano and he also played the saxophone during his tenure in the middle school band. While attending high school Telvin learned how to speak in front of a camera being the school's news anchor for the daily announcements. After high school he immediately attended the University of Arkansas where he was a walk-on wide receiver for three seasons. After graduating from college in 2012 with a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism he quickly signed with an agent in Dallas to be closer to more opportunities which proved to be a good decision. He booked his first audition which got him his SAG card. Telvin has booked over five National Commercials including being the National Spokesman for "Black People Meet dot com." Telvin has also appeared on numerous television shows and films including The Bold and the Beautiful, Queen Sugar, Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories," and the feature film Jerico. His latest film "Into The Ashes" starring Luke Grimes, Frank Grillo, and James Badge Dale will be in theaters July 2019. Telvin's goal and purpose in life is to inspire others that might be on the verge of giving up that if you just stick with a plan, wait on God, then execute it all of your dreams will come true.
