Biography
Tim Griffin first discovered acting after being cast as Oliver Twist in a school performance of the musical Oliver! He was cast in the TV movie Taking A Stand as the leading role of the all-star production (Betty Buckley, Jane Adams, Michael Beach). The show went on to win a Daytime Emmy® for Outstanding Children's Special. Following this success, Tim went on to star in high-profile TV shows and movies of the week, including China Beach, In The Heat of the Night, and Michael Zinberg's autobiographical, coming-of-age drama For The Very First Time.
Unsure whether working as a teen actor came with an expiration date, he picked up right where he left off, landing recurring stints on General Hospital, the critically acclaimed Against The Grain (co-starring Southland's Mike Cudlitz, and Ben Affleck), and a near-unrecognizable turn as the autistic Richie Grayson on Party of Five. His reputation as a multi-talented actor began to grow, and in 1996, director John Singleton gave Griffin his first break into features, casting him in Higher Learning (Jennifer Connelly, Lawrence Fishburne).
In his hilarious recurring role as T.R. Knight's brother Ronny O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy, Griffin is best known for shooting his own dad in the butt. He became even more recognizable in 2004 when he was cast in The Bourne Supremacy, the second installment of the legendary franchise. Griffin's blockbuster streak continues with credits that include Jon Favreau's Iron Man, J.J. Abrams's Cloverfield, Star Trek and Super 8.
Tim was handpicked to star in George Clooney's Leatherheads. He reteamed with Clooney again in the comedy The Men Who Stare at Goats. Griffin earned critical praise for his work in Doug Liman's true-life spy drama Fair Game, which was awarded screenwriting honors by the Writer's Guild of America, and a New York Film Critics award. Griffin starred in the Peter Berg produced NBC primetime drama Prime Suspect, which is the American reboot of the acclaimed British series, with Maria Bello and Aidan Quinn.
