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 (2021–2025);[5] head vampire Jan Valek in John Carpenter's 1998 horror film Vampires; recurring character Larry Sawyer in the first season of The WB's teen drama series One Tree Hill (2004); 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, and has written and served as a supervising producer on a dozen episodes of Netflix's drama series Virgin River.

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]
