Erik Griffin doesn't just work in entertainment — he shapes it. A comedian, actor, and director whose fingerprints are all over some of the biggest moments in comedy, Griffin first planted his flag as the iconic Montez Walker on Comedy Central's WORKAHOLICS — and has been building an empire ever since.

Griffin appeared in THE EVERYTHING POT and landed a role in BEHEMOTH — the highly anticipated film starring Pedro Pascal, written and directed by the legendary Tony Gilroy (Andor, Michael Clayton). No big deal. Griffin starred as a series regular in Showtime's dark-comedy I'M DYING UP HERE, set in the infamous L.A. stand-up scene of the '70s, alongside Melissa Leo, Al Madrigal, and Ari Graynor — executive produced by Jim Carrey. He also delivered not one but two Showtime comedy specials: THE UGLY TRUTH and AmERIKan WARRIOR, streaming now. His television credits read like a very fun binge list: BLUNT TALK (Starz) with Patrick Stewart, Netflix's ONE DAY AT A TIME, FX's YOU'RE THE WORST, BOB'S BURGERS, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, and Nickelodeon's HARVEY BREAKS.
