- Actor
Matthew Sean Griffin Sr. is an actor, writer and voice-narrator. He was born in 1981, in Pennsylvania. He stands at six feet three inches tall.
Orphaned at birth he was adopted twice before ending up in a loving military family as the son of Levon and Linda K. Griffin. While growing up Matthew excelled in his school studies as well as in sports like martial arts and baseball. Matthew grew up enjoying moving from military base to military base, traveling abroad with his family as his father served in the U.S. Army, and also went to Desert Storm. After serving 4 years in his high school Air Force J.R.O.T.C. program, Matthew would soon return overseas as a United States Navy Sailor on board the USS Saipan LHA-2 of the 6th fleet (now decommissioned) as an Intelligence Specialist seaman.
As recorded in the Naval History archives, on September 27, 2000, he miraculously survived an almost fatal mishap during his Mediterranean Sea tour, he fell overboard off the aircraft carrier starboard side refueling station an entire 53 feet backward at night about 290 miles away from land while the ship was in the middle of adjusting speed from 17 to 12 knots. He somehow survived and managed to tread water with no flotation devices for a total of 83 minutes until the ship's SAR teams finally found and reached him about 9 miles away, as he quickly approached the edge of the ship's search zone.
After ending his Navy service in 2001 he turned to raising his children while his spouse finished serving her enlistment contract whom he had married at the age of just 18 years old. However, such as in life, disaster struck and not only did his adoptive mother die in June of 2005, but unbeknownst to him at the same time his marriage would also end. Devastated but determined to never give up he returned to the service that he'd grown up to love, the United States Army, and enlisted at first in the Army National Guard as a Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear High Yield Explosives specialist (CBRNE). He then volunteered to serve in two Iraqi Combat tours and one Afghanistan for Active duty from 2007 to 2014.
Upon his successful return from his first Combat tour, Matthew was injured and received surgeries to repair his injuries. During this time, he successfully found and reunited with his biological mother Alexandra V. Webster. In September of 2009 he gained Full primary physical custody of his first marriage three children through the court in Norfolk Virginia where his wife had filed for custody and divorce proceedings (history now shows he effectively destroyed her in the very first hearing of the case.)
Later in June 2013 after returning from his third and final tour overseas Matthew married his second wife Nageyah "Nya" Aisha Griffin (Vinson). The couple separated after the first year and never reconciled, nor did they ever divorce. In August of 2023 Nya died from a seizure of Lupis related illnesses unbeknownst to Matthew.
From his childhood up to middle and high school drama club, and even down the runway at teenage 1990s fashion shows Matthew has loved the art of acting, movie creation, and storytelling. Matthew began riding motorcycles at the age of 20 and excelled at owning and racing hyperbikes like the ZX-1400 Ninja, H-2, and more. A combative instructor in the Army, Matthew is a skilled fighter and mixed martial artist with belts in taekwondo and jujitsu as well as an amateur boxing record of 28 wins 3 losses 23 wins by TKO, in the Army.
Described as an amazing and passionate father, Matthew has fathered eight children. He has seven daughters and one son. His son serves as a Marine. He also has two granddaughters. Matthew Griffin has a Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation Management and is a sole custody single father to his eighth child, his five-year-old daughter Aurorastorm Griffin. He lives in Georgia and still seeks out acting roles and voice narration roles for his Barry White toned, "All State Guy" sounding voice.

Naturally funny the tall, gentle man is surely a delight to be around and enjoys teaching and learning alike.
