Career[]
Griffith's first feature film was the 1989 sequel The Karate Kid, Part III, in which he played Terry Silver, a toxic-waste dumper and devious martial arts expert who influences Daniel LaRusso against his friend and mentor, Mr. Miyagi. In 1996, Griffith starred in the film Hollow Point alongside Tia Carrere, as DEA agent Max Parish and FBI agent Diane Norwood respectively.

His first TV role was on the soap opera Another World, as Catlin Ewing, whom he played from 1984 to 1987. In 1999, he starred in the TV movie Secret of Giving with Reba McEntire; earlier in 1999, he had appeared in Reba's video for the song "What Do You Say." He also starred as Rock Hudson in a 1990 TV movie about Hudson's life, for which he received critical acclaim.
