Jack Griffo as ‘Max Thunderman’ on Nickelodeon’s The ThundermansMaile acting graduate and performing troop member Jack Griffo has found much success in the entertainment industry. Jack is one of Nickelodeon’s rising stars in the new show The Thundermans as ‘Max Thunderman’.
The Thundermans is a superhero family who is trying to keep their super-human quirks under wraps and lead a normal life. Jacks character ‘Max’ is mischievous to no end. He has the same superpowers as his twin sister Phoebe, but he uses his for whipping up gadgets and potions in his evil lair instead. Jack calls Max his best role so far. “He’s definitely fun because he’s unlike anything I’ve done before,” he said.
The Thundermans airs on Nick Saturday nights at 9/8c.
Jack first stepped into the spotlight booking his first commercial at the age of two. He took acting classes here at The Maile School and joined our performing troop. Jack acted in A Christmas Story at Orlando Repertory Theatre and To Kill a Mockingbird at Theatre Downtown. He later decided to audition in LA. During a two-week visit, he signed with an agent and booked roles in two commercials. That was the signal that he should stay longer, and he has been based in Los Angeles for three years. Jack also has a keen interest in music. His acoustic covers have been successful on YouTube, and a version of “Hold Me“ has more than 2 million views. He said he believes “Hold Me“ clicked because it was done on the spur of the moment without professional flourishes.
Jacks impressive resume includes guest starring roles on Jessie, Marvin Marvin, See Dad Run, and Kickin’ It to name a few. Jack will also star in a brand new Nickelodeon movie called Jinxed which will premiere on the channel on November 29, 2013 at 7pm.
