Eddie Griffin has built an ever-growing fan base since jumping onto the comedy scene in 1990, which soon led to an appearance on Russell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam, an HBO half-hour special, and the HBO special Voodoo Child. From there, Griffin began branching out into acting. Roles in such films as The Last Boy Scout and Coneheads soon led to his own hit series Malcolm and Eddie. After, he was offered a lead role in Double Take alongside Orlando Jones. Griffin then starred alongside Denzel Washington in John Q, Undercover Brother and many other films including: Armageddon, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, Date Movie and Scary Movie 3.
