Dax Griffin plays Tim Truman, a man who is determined to win back the woman who jilted him and tarnished his ego. The role of Tim Truman is Griffin's first major television gig. A stage actor for the past five years, Griffin has but one other television credit: a Nintendo commercial televised exclusively in Japan.

By the age of 18, he knew he wanted to be an actor. He performed on stage in various Shakespearean productions as well as in such classics as "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "A Streetcar Named Desire." He began modeling as well. In 1995, he auditioned for several film and television roles, which ultimately led him to "Sunset Beach." He was working as a bartender at the popular Hollywood "swing" club, The Derby, when he was notified that he had landed a part on "Sunset Beach."

A native of Atlanta, Griffin moved to Los Angeles after graduating from the University of Alabama in 1995 with a degree in business marketing and a minor in theater. He credits his Los Angeles acting teacher and mentor, David Beard, for preparing him to become a working daytime actor. Griffin's birthday is March 22.
