About Me
Born in Vicksburg, MS, I moved to Frankfurt, Germany with my loving parents when I was 2. At six, we moved back to the U.S., Virginia for a year, and then to Wilmington, NC.
I started my in front of the camera career as a model at 10 years old. Signed my first contract with Wilhelmina's kid's department at 12. From 12-18yrs old, spent many summers between New York and London. In 2000, I got my first acting role in the Freddie Prinze, Jr-Jessica Biel film, Summer Catch, and despite my scene being cut from the movie, I got my SAG card. So, I packed up my car and drove across the country to pursue an acting career.
My big break happened when I got a lead role in the Warner Brothers film, The Dukes of Hazzard, Starring Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott. That was followed by an arc as drug-dealing party-girl from the right side of the tracks, Jess Sathers, on The OC, and a small role in the third installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, Tokyo Drift.
You’ve seen me pop up on the big and small screens as well as in the pages of magazines, both as subject and author. As things shifted in my career, my passion for writing kicked into high gear. I began writing for Geek Magazine as well as for marvel.com. Writing is something I love as much as acting. On the heels of Geek Magazine folding in October of 2014, I was lucky enough to pack up and move to Seattle, Washington to explore new opportunities.Eager to see what the great state of Washington has in store for me.
I am launching this website to give you an online portfolio of some of the amazing things I’ve worked on and hope that we can work together on upcoming exciting projects.
With love,
Nikki Griffin
