Acting Career

Griffin’s on-camera acting career began at his very early age of five, when he landed the role of Benjamin ‘Ben’ Hinton in the family comedy film “Daddy Day Care”, with Eddy Murphy in the leading role. Following the movie’s commercial success, grossing over $160 million at the box office, young Khamani’s career was set on a rising path especially after he earned a nomination for the Young Artist Award.

To greater prominence he came later that year when he landed one of the leading roles in the UPN’s critically acclaimed TV comedy series “All of Us”.

For this role, Khamani received two consecutive nominations for the Young Artist Award, in 2007 and 2008.
