Thomas Ian Griffith (born March 18, 1962)[2][3] is an American actor, screenwriter, producer, musician, and martial artist.[4]

His best-known roles include Terry Silver in the 1989 martial arts film The Karate Kid Part III, which he later reprised in the fourth through sixth seasons of the television series Cobra Kai (2021–2024),[5] head vampire Jan Valek in John Carpenter's 1998 horror film Vampires, and Catlin Ewing in NBC's soap opera Another World, which he helmed from 1984–1987. He also wrote, story edited, and co-produced over thirty episodes of NBC's fantasy program Grimm.

During the 1990s, he starred in a series of direct-to-video and low-budget theatrically-released films, though he was positioned to be one of Hollywood's next big action stars.[6][7] From critics and journalists, he received frequent comparisons to actors like Jean Claude van Damme, Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, Jeff Speakman, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, and even Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, and Mickey Rourke. Writing for the New York Daily News, Nancy Stedman offered "He's being touted as a better-looking version of Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jean-Claude Van Damme. But with a difference: Muscles are a sideline with Griffith; he has spent years acting in theater."[8] At the eighth annual ShowEast film industry conference held in Atlantic City, New Jersey in October 1992, Griffith received the Star of Tomorrow Award.[9][10][11]

Early life

[edit]

Thomas Ian Griffith was born in Hartford, Connecticut on March 18, 1962, the son of Irish-American Hartford natives Mary Ann (née O'Neil; 1934–1990)[12] and Dr. Thomas Joseph Griffith (1927–2017).[13][2][14] His maternal grandfather, John J. O'Neil, was born in Killorglin, County Kerry, Ireland, and emigrated to Hartford in the 1920s.[15] His maternal grandmother, Margaret (née Galvin), was also born in County Kerry, Ireland and spent most of her life in Hartford.[16] His paternal grandparents, Michael J. Griffith and Mary Agnes (née Radigan), were both born in County Mayo, Ireland, and emigrated (separately) to Hartford in the 1910s.[17][18]

Griffith's mother, who was voted Mrs. Connecticut of 1964,[19] was the founder and director of the noted Irish dancing academy, The Griffith Academy of Dance in Wethersfield, Connecticut.[20][12] She was a graduate of the University of Hartford, and received a Master's degree in counseling from St. Joseph College.[12] She was also an accredited An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha and Teagascóir Coimisiún Le Rinci Gaelacha Irish dance teacher.[12] His paternal grandmother, Mary Agnes, was also a member of The Irish Dancing Commission.[21] His father served in the Navy during World War II and later hosted a weekly Sunday radio show, The Irish Hour (produced by his brother William E. Griffith).[13][22] He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from the University of Hartford and went on to earn three Master of Science degrees and a PhD in Education from Boston University.[13] He was an assistant professor in business administration at the University of Hartford,[19] before moving to Florida to teach at Lynn University in Boca Raton and Broward College in Davie.[2][14] Griffith has an older sisters, Colleen Marie, and a younger sister, Mary Beth,[12][19] both of whom continued in their mother's footsteps and teach at The Griffith Academy.[14][23]

Griffith grew up in Wethersfield,[24] and attended South Catholic High School in Hartford.[14] During the 1960s, he was part of the youth Irish dancing group The Griffith Dancers, under the direction of his mother.[25][26] He became obsessed with taekwondo when he was 12, studying at the S.K. Tae Kwon Do Academy in Hartford, and earned a black belt when he was 18.[27][28] He later earned a black belt in American Kenpo while studying the sport in New York under Hyung Yup Chung.[3] After moving to Los Angeles in the late 1980s, he studied with Jun Chong.[3] In the 1990s, he started boxing under Benny Urquidez.[3]

In addition to learning various forms of dancing (such as Irish step-dancing and Celtic folk-dancing) from his mother, he also learned to sing and play several instruments, including piano and accordion.[4] He was so proficient on the accordion that he won the U.S. and Connecticut State championship.[4] At certain shows he would dance a jig and play his accordion,[29] and would usually accompany The Griffith Dancers on the instrument.[30][31] Of his dancing, he later said "I never had a formal dance lesson in my life, I picked up tap dancing while playing the piano for allowance money as a child in Hartford, Connecticut."[4] Griffith also juggled and wrote songs.[4]

Some sources state that he studied law at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he was a dean's list student before leaving after his junior year to "make it" as an actor in New York.[14][4] Other sources report that he was an English and music major at that same college, but that he graduated before setting out into acting.[32]

Career

[edit]

Theater and soap operas (1980–1987)

[edit]

In 1980, Griffith made his Broadway debut when he replaced featured player Tom Cashin in the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, under the direction of Peter Masterson and Tommy Tune at the 46th Street Theatre.[14][4][33] He performed various roles in the play, including a stage manager, a cameraman, and a football player named Aggie #12 who does a specialty tap-dance.[33][14][4] In a 1984 interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actor confided that the production team had hired him more for his physique and dancing skills than his acting abilities.[32]

The next year, he landed another role in the Broadway sports musical The First, which dramatized events from the life of Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play Major League Baseball.[34][4] In that play, which ran from October 19 to December 12, 1981, under the direction of Martin Charnin at the Martin Beck Theatre, Griffith also played various parts (including Thurman the Brooklyn Eagle photographer, a passenger, a Brooklyn Dodgers rookie, and a Pittsburg Pirates player).[4][34] He also appeared in off-Broadway productions.[3] His theater roles were usually credited under his shortened name, Thomas Griffith.[35]

He was hired and cast in the 1983–1984 season of the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, appearing in the first two plays, The Threepenny Opera (which ran from June 10 to July 17, 1983, directed by Liviu Ciulei) and Guys and Dolls (which ran from July 29 to September 18, 1983, directed by Garland Wright).[36][32][14][4] The theater's production of The Threepenny Opera starred Theodore Bikel,[37] while Guys and Dolls' starred Roy Thinnes, Jerry Stiller, Barbara Sharma, and Mike Mazurki.[38][39] Griffith was scheduled to appear in five other productions at the Guthrie Theater that season, The Entertainer (September 23 to October 23, 1983), The Seagull (October 28 to November 20, 1983), A Christmas Carol (November 24, 1983 to January 1, 1984), The Importance of Being Ernest (January 6 to February 12, 1984), and Hedda Gabler (February 17 to March 11, 1984), but he departed for New York.[36][32]

A New York casting director caught Griffith's work at the Guthrie Theater and arranged for him an audition for NBC in late 1983.[32] From that single audition (in which he was paired with Mary Page Keller),[8][40] he received two simultaneous offers to join either Another World or Search for Tomorrow, both NBC daytime soap operas.[32] The actor chose Another World, was signed to a nine-month contract, and was cast as the "troublemaking-womanizer" Catlin Ewing.[4][32] Griffith had initially planned to return to stage work after his nine-month contract expired, with the television experience added to his resumé, and he took acting lessons when he had time off from shooting.[32] He made his television-acting debut in January 1984 and wound up playing Ewing for three years, until January 1987.[41][42][14] During this time, he dated his co-star, onscreen love interest, and future wife, Mary Page Keller; the couple eventually married in 1991.[14]

Appearing on Another World made him "one of daytime television's more familiar and possibly popular faces,"[43] a "matinee idol,"[44] and a "soap superstar."[45] By 1985, he was a frequently invited guest at international trade shows and exhibitions, where he met fans and signed autographs.[46][47][48][49] He was also noted for performing and choreographing his own stunts on the show.[50] As early as July 1986, news circulated that Griffith, although playing a popular character on Another World, was not going to renew his contract once it ended in January 1987, and the importance of his role was gradually diminished in the writing of the show.[51][52]

Hollywood and Ian Page Productions (1987–1994)

[edit]

After leaving Another World in 1985, his girlfriend Keller moved from Brooklyn, New York (where most of the television series was filmed) to Los Angeles, California (she was a native of Monterey, California);[53] Griffith joined her in early 1987, when his contract expired.[14][54] There, they made their home and formed an independent film production company, Ian Page Productions, named after their middle names, and he began writing the screenplay for A Place to Hide (later filmed as Night of the Warrior).[55] In 1988, Griffith had a guest role on NBC's prime-time television crime drama series In the Heat of the Night; he appeared in the two-part season two premiere episode "Don't Look Back," which aired in December 1988.[56]

In late 1988, Griffith landed his theatrical film debut when he was cast as the lead villain in The Karate Kid Part III (released in June 1989).[57] In the film, he portrays Terry Silver, a rival martial arts expert who influences Daniel LaRusso against his friend and mentor, Mr. Miyagi. Although many reporters assumed that he won the role of Silver because of his personal knowledge of martial arts, Griffith explained that he landed the part solely because of his acting experience as the character of Silver, as originally written when he auditioned, didn't have much fighting in the film.[3] The plot initially revolved around Silver torturing LaRusso and plotting his demise, but once the film's fight choreographer, Pat Johnson, discovered Griffith's expertise with martial arts, he recommended that the actor approach director John G. Avildsen for new scenes to be written.[3] Avildsen was excited about expanding Silver's parts and reworked the script to make the character an equal nemesis.[3]

Despite being offered similar martial arts roles following The Karate Kid Part III, the actor did not want to be typecast.[3] When interviewed by Black Belt magazine, Griffith explained he wanted to keep his roles balanced, and that although he loved doing action and martial arts films, he was also driven to keep playing straight drama parts, and was interested in going back to plays and doing Shakespeare.[3] He also told the New York Daily News "I'm hoping that in between the big action films there will be something more soulful."[8] Griffith then landed another guest role on CBS's prime-time television crime drama series Wiseguy; he appeared in the two-part season two finale episodes "Le Lacrime d'Amore Part 1: AKA The Four-Letter Word" and "Le Lacrime d'Amore Part 2: AKA There's Plenty of Time," which aired in May 1989. Griffith plays the role of Roger Totland, Amber Twine's (Patti D'Arbanville) attorney who convinces her to sever ties with the protagonist, Vinnie Terranova (Ken Wahl), by seducing and winning and dinning her, in an attempt to profit from the sale of her company and real estate.[58]

His agent heard that ABC was casting for its television biopic of late screen actor Rock Hudson and sent Griffith over to audition for director John Nicolella.[59] Although Griffith only did a cold reading, Nicolella loved his delivery and asked him to repeat the audition for a dozen ABC executives; the following day, Griffith was informed that he had the part.[59] The actor admitted to The New York Times that prior to the Hudson biopic, he was not a fan of the screen legend's work and had only seen Giant (1956), but that through research for the role, he learned to appreciate the late actor's work and found it to be a great role for him.[60][58] Griffith was only one inch taller than Hudson and had a similar physique, but required several hours of makeup each day (including darkening his brown hair and wearing brown contacts over his blue eyes) to get into character, especially when depicting Hudson's final years as he was dying from AIDS.[60][1] Producer Frank Konigsberg later told newspaper reporters that he felt it was more important to cast an actor who could play Hudson's tortured spirit than an exact lookalike,[1] and that Griffith "has the presence, the height and the build of Rock. He also has that wonderful kind of open, all-American quality, a boyish innocence that makes you really like the guy. That's what Rock had, too."[61] The two-hour Rock Hudson film was broadcast on ABC in January 1990.[14][62]

Through Ian Page Productions, Griffith wrote and co-produced the action flic Night of the Warrior, which originated from a screenplay and story he wrote in 1988 titled A Place to Hide.[63][55][64] The film, when initially scheduled to start shooting in late November 1988 (before being delayed when Griffith was cast in The Karate Kidd Part III), was a mystery-drama flic about a poet who works at a strip club.[14][65] It was to be directed by Scott Thomas and co-star Griffith and Keller with a cast that boasted Arlene Dahl, Bill Erwin, Dana Ashbrook, and Chris Lemmon, and be co-produced by Mike Erwin (son of actor Bill Erwin).[55][65] By 1989, the film's cast had changed to star Lorenzo Lamas (Dahl's real-life son) replacing Griffith; the former also came in as co-producer through his film production company, Erwin, Lamas, Kirishima Productions (co-owned with Mike Erwin and J. Max Kirishima).[66][63] Erwin, Lamas, and Griffith had met through their love of karate.[67] With new producers Lamas and Kirishima on board, the script was drastically changed to include more martial arts and turn it into a proper action film, which Griffith was unhappy about.[14] The movie was finally filmed in 1990,[68] with director Rafal Zielinski and starred Lamas, Kathleen Kinmont (Lamas' real-life wife, replacing Keller), Dahl, Erwin, Anthony Geary, and Danny Kamekona.[14] It was distributed in theaters and on video and laserdisc via Trimark Pictures in 1991.[14][55]

Griffith and Keller next co-wrote, co-produced, and co-starred in the political action thriller film Ulterior Motives (working title Deadline[68]) involving a New York Times reporter, Erica Boswell (Keller), who uncovers a story about a Japanese-American businessman selling U.S. defense secrets to Japan. She hires private detective Jack Blaylock (Griffith) to help with the investigation.[69] Directed by James Becket, its cast also included Ken Howard, Ellen Crawford, M.C. Gainey, Hayward Nishioka, Tyra Ferrell, and Joe Yamanaka. Ulterior Motives was again produced in cooperation with Erwin and Lamas' film production company, Erwin, Lamas, Kirishima Productions,[70] and was filmed and edited in late 1990.[71][72] It was screened in February and March 1991 at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California,[73] and a larger release happened two years later in late 1992, when Imperial Entertainment issued it on video and laserdisc.[74][14][55]

With several acting, writing, and producing credits to his name, Griffith was picked up for representation by talent agency Creative Artists Agency.[14] In 1991, his agent took Griffith's new screenplay for Excessive Force, in which he plays Detective Terry McCain, a Chicago police officer who gets framed for the murder of a mob boss, to New Line Cinema.[75][11] Within two weeks, New Line Cinema had agreed to finance and distribute the film and wanted Griffith to also star in it.[11] Ultimately, the offer evolved into a three-picture writing-producing-starring-directing deal for Ian Page Productions, though Griffith did not use his option to direct the film.[14][75] Griffith said he wanted someone else to direct so that he could be focused on acting on the set.[11] Excessive Force was given a $5.5 million budget[11] and John Hess was hired to direct, while Griffith produced, co-choreographed (with Bobby Bass), and starred in the film; he can also be seen playing several jazz tunes on the piano.[14][3] The movie was filmed on location in Chicago, Illinois between March-May 1992,[76][75] and included such notable stars as James Earl Jones, Burt Young, and Lance Henriksen.[77] For his role, Griffith did research by spending time with real Chicago cops who patrolled rough areas of the city and was present during a raid on a crack house.[11] Excessive Force received limited theatrical releases starting on November 6, 1992 and into 1993,[78] during which Griffith embarked on a promotional tour to plug the film.[11] The wide theatrical opening of Excessive Force was in February 1993,[79] and by May 1993, the film was in theaters everywhere.[80] Although the filmed fared poorly at the box office, grossing only $1.1 million in the US, it sold so well when issued on VHS that same year via New Line Home Video, grossing a profit within months,[80] that New Line Cinema was open to a sequel.[81]

Between 1991–1993, Griffith was positioned to be one of Hollywood's next big action stars.[6] From critics and journalists, he received frequent comparisons to actors like Jean Claude van Damme, Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, Jeff Speakman, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, and even Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, and Mickey Rourke.[6][14][44][82][83][84][85][86] Writing for the New York Daily News, Nancy Stedman offered "He's being touted as a better-looking version of Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jean-Claude Van Damme. But with a difference: Muscles are a sideline with Griffith; he has spent years acting in theater."[8] At the eighth annual ShowEast film industry conference held in Atlantic City, New Jersey in October 1992, Griffith received the Star of Tomorrow Award.[9][10][11]

Other roles (1994–present)

[edit]

Griffith next starred in the Canadian film Crackerjack, which received a limited theatrical release in some countries but was a direct-to-video release in the United States, and the direct-to-video Blood of the Innocent (both 1994).

Through the late 1990s and 2000s, Griffith transitioned to smaller projects and roles, working almost exclusively direct-to-video. He did, however, star in the film Hollow Point alongside Tia Carrere as DEA agent Max Parrish and collaborated with director John Carpenter. He played head vampire Jan Valek in Carpenter's 1998 film Vampires and co-created the comic book series Asylum with Carpenter and producer Sandy King.[87]

In 1999, he starred in the TV movie Secret of Giving with Reba McEntire; earlier in 1999, he had appeared in McEntire's video for the song "What Do You Say." In 2002, Griffith appeared in the film xXx, in which he portrayed Agent Jim McGrath.

In 2007, Griffith retired from acting altogether to pursue screenwriting. From 2013 to 2017, he periodically wrote and worked as a story editor for the NBC television series Grimm and became a co-producer in 2015. He and his wife, Mary Page Keller, also collaborated to write the sixth episode of the dramedy series Dolly Parton's Heartstrings in 2019, as well as an episode for Netflix series Virgin River.[88]

In 2021 and 2022, Griffith came out of his retirement from acting to reprise the role of Terry Silver in the fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons of Cobra Kai.[89][90]

Personal life

[edit]

Griffith has been married to his former Another World costar Mary Page Keller since 1991 and the pair have two sons together.[2]
