He went on to land a guest role on NBC's Chicago Fire (2012), and was cast in the the pilot episode of Sam & Cat (2013), which would become Nickelodeon's highest-rated series. He continued as a recurring guest star with additional appearances on the hit show.
In 2014, Griffin appeared on USA Network's comedy series Sirens (2014), created by Denis Leary & Bob Fisher. Griffin was cast to play the young brother of Michael Mosley's character, Johnny.
