Biography

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Robyn Griggs first started acting at age 3 in a production of A Doll's House. During her school years, she took up singing as well as dancing lessons wanting to have more experience for stage work. While still in school, Robyn traveled to New York where she auditioned for a role in the Broadway production of Annie. After being called back several times and being the size for the role of Molly in Annie, Robyn was contacted by a New York City agency that started her career in TV. She started appearing in several TV commercials, and then went on to other theater work across the USA and even landed the role of Annie in off-Broadway shows and she was still only 13. She even hosted the TV show Rated K, which aired on Nickelodeon.

As a teenager, Robyn was a fine actress, but a mediocre student in school. Robyn always had problems concentrating in class and was forced to hire a tutor to help her keep up with her grades. She took time off from acting to concentrate on high school, but did return to acting now and then. Her first real TV role was the role of Stephanie Hobart on the daytime soap opera One Life to Live on ABC from 1991 to 1992. During that time, she also acted on Broadway at the Minskoff Theater. After finally graduating from high school, she tried making it in the Los Angeles acting world. She didn't like it due to the pressure and soon went back to New York where she landed another TV role in playing the rebellious teenage Maggie Cory on the daytime soap opera Another World on NBC. After almost three years of playing the role, Robyn signed a demo deal with RCA Records. Worn out by years of constant acting on daytime soap operas by day and theater in the afternoon and at night, the blonde, blue-eyed Robyn took time off to spend it with her parents.

After some years out of the public eye, Robyn returned to acting in 2001 by appearing in several independent, grade-B, made-for-video horror/thriller flicks such as Abattoir (2001), and Ghost Tour (2003) for Deepkut Productions. She also appeared in Minds of Terror (2003), Zombiegeddon (2003), Project 187 (2003), The Urn (2003), Demon Hunters (2003), Aberration Boulevard (2001), Severe Injuries (2003), Dead Clowns (2003), The Absence of Light (2004), Dead Planet (2004), and several others. Robyn lived in Akron, Ohio and toured with various horror film conventions across the country, as well as doubling as a producer and promoter for a number of low-budget independent horror films, and acting in them as well. She also finished recording her first CD, "Love's Young Nightmare".
