Griffin Dunne

While known for his starring roles in iconic films like An American Werewolf in London and Martin Scorsese’s After Hours, Golden Globe Award nominee Griffin Dunne continues to charm audiences and critics alike in such shows as NBC series This Is Us, opposite Mandy Moore and Sterling K. Brown. Other acting credits include the Oscar-winning Dallas Buyers Club, as well as Joey Soloway’s provocative Amazon Studios dramedy I Love Dick opposite Kevin Bacon and Kathryn Hahn. Griffin debuted as a director with his Oscar-nominated short film Duke of Groove and has since directed Addicted to Love with Meg Ryan, Practical Magic with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, and the critically acclaimed Netflix documentary The Center Will Not Hold about his aunt Joan Didion. Most recently, he can be seen in Darren Aaronofsky’s Caught Stealing and just completed filming Joy Will Prevail where he portrayed the famous architect Louis Kahn.

His New York Times best-selling family memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club, is more than a celebrity memoir—it’s a poignant, funny family story capturing the absurdities, flaws, and love of its characters, including the author himself.
