[edit] Biography

Though Jeanne Nicole Griffin was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, most of her childhood was spent living in Germany. She came back to the United States as a teenager and went to high school at the New Hanover High School in Wilmington, North Carolina.

In high school Nikki developed her love for films. She took film class at her high school, where she was taught by Marc Matney (who is known for his voice-over work in foreign films). After she graduated from high school, Nikki and her friend moved out to Los Angeles to try and make it into the business. Although her friend left after a short period of time, Nikki stayed in LA because she knew that she wanted to become an actress. Nikki landed her first role, although small, as an actress on television's Dawson's Creek in 2000. She landed a fairly larger role, also in 2000, in a part of the TV movie Darktales.

After a string of small roles in television and movies, Nikki landed a recurring guest-starring role on FOX's hit The O.C., in 2005, and then briefly in 2006. On The O.C. Nikki played party girl, drug addict Jess Sather, also known as 'Floater Girl'. In the summer of 2005, Nikki played Katie Johnson in the Jessica Simpson fueled The Dukes of Hazzard. Nikki's role in the movie was the sexy college girl that caught the eye of cousins Bo and Luke Duke.

Griffin also had a very small role in the movie, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, amongst some other, smaller films in 2006. In 2009, Nikki will play Lauren in The Tribe.
