Griffin Claude Beresford Dauphin Newman (https://twitter.com/GriffLightning) (born February 19, 1989) is an American actor and comedian. He stars as Arthur in the Amazon Studios remake of The Tick TV series. He is the co-host the podcast Blank Check (with Griffin and David) in which he and movie critic David Sims over-analyze filmographies of directors that have massive success early on and are given a "blank check" by the Hollywood studios to make their passion projects. He is one half of #thetwofriends.

Personality

Growing up in New York City, Griffin was the child of actress Antonia Dauphin and film producer Peter "Pistol Pete" Newman. He has a younger sister Romilly whom he often refers to as his best friend.

As a child, Griffin's parents kept a somewhat tight leash on his media consumption, and he was not allowed to watch a number of television shows and movies until he was older. Famously he was not allowed to watch the animated TV show "Rugrats" because his mother thought it was too 'cynical.' He was also a student at unusual schools which gave students increased freedom to pursue their own academic goals.

Griffin is known to be fond of Pixar movies and animated movies in general demostrated in his enthusiasm for movies like Toy Story 2, The Lego Batman Movie or Hotel Transylvania. He also is a big fan of the Fast & Furious movie franchise, and in the past has mounted semi-serious social media campaigns to appear in at least one Fast & Furious movie.

In Blank Check, Griffin is known for his tangents and numerous bits which sidetrack the podcast and anger his co-host and producer in a very loving manner. These and other personality traits such as a penchant for making very silly jokes occasionally cause co-host David Sims to refer to his friend as "a child."

Griffin is a rather anxious person and is known to be a sufferer of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). He is unafraid to be politically active demonstrated by him tweeting President Donald Trump "Fuck You" every day after his election.
