Kyron Griffith

Kyron Griffith, best known for his supporting role in "16-Love" as Milon Christman, is a rising star within the sports film industry. His start was an ironic and an auspicious one, especially since acting was never in his plan. He was discovered on YouTube when Adam Lipsius, the director of the acclaimed "16-Love," was on a late-night YouTube spree. He stumbled upon Kyron Griffith's high school Student Council promotional video in which Griffith portrayed the male role in a spin on Taylor Swift's number-one-hit "You Belong With Me." Griffith's undeniable latent acting talent had been uncovered. Lipsius was so desperate to incorporate Griffith that he paid for the young actor to have 6 months of high-intensity tennis lessons by world renown tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou. During breaks, Mouratoglou also taught Griffith how to play chess. Griffith fell in love with the game so deeply that he took it up as a real hobby and has entered chess tournaments ever since.
