Griffin Matthews

Griffin Matthews (born 1981/82) is an American actor, writer, and director.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.F.A. in musical theater.

With husband Matt Gould, Matthews co-wrote the musical Witness Uganda, later retitled Invisible Thread, based on his experience volunteering in Uganda. The musical won the Richard Rodgers Awards for Musical Theatre in 2012 and 2014.

Matthews appears as fashion designer Luke Jacobson in the 2022 Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. His other television credits include Dear White People, The Flight Attendant, The Mentalist, Weeds, Torchwood, and Law & Order: LA.

Matthews, who is Black, has criticized institutionalized racism in American theater.

In 2005, Matthews co-founded a volunteer organization called UgandaProject (formerly Be The Change Uganda). The organization supported the education of a group of teenagers living in Uganda.

Matthews is openly gay. He married composer and writer Matt Gould in 2017. They were introduced in 2009 by mutual friends due to their shared experience working in various parts of Africa (Gould served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania from 2001-2003, and Matthews began volunteering in Uganda in 2005). The couple adopted two sons in August, 2022.
