Actor Blake Cooper Griffin chatted about his new book “The Story of You: A Life Rewritten.”
Aside from being an actor and entertainer, Griffin is also an advocate, activist, and entrepreneur.
Griffin noted that he just inked a deal with award-winning publisher Koehler Books for the release of his debut nonfiction book, “The Story of You: A Life Rewritten.”
This marks Griffin’s first published work—and the start of a new chapter in his life as an author, speaker, and storyteller.
On his new book, Griffin remarked, “This project is extremely personal to me.”
“We all go through moments where the old version of our life no longer fits—but we don’t yet see what’s next,” he noted.
“This book is about learning to live in that in-between space, and finding your way forward with honesty, resilience, and authorship,” he added.
In the acting world, Griffin has built a career across genres—from thrillers and dramas to biopics and comedies.
His credit film and TV credits include HBO’s Winning Time, Netflix’s Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, and Lionsgate’s Scrambled.
Off-screen, Griffin is an educational advocate and entrepreneur, and has served as a national surrogate for three U.S. presidential campaigns, speaking nationwide on civic engagement, identity, and the power of personal story.
His new book “The Story of You: A Life Rewritten” is slated to be released in February of 2026 in hardcover, softcover, and e-book formats.
“From being bullied in the school hallways of South Carolina, to navigating family reconciliation, to facing early career pressure to suppress my identity, I’ve learned that transformation isn’t about waiting for clarity—we have to build it,” Griffin explained.
“I’ve experienced success in public and unraveling in private. This book doesn’t try to fix people,” he admitted.
“It is built to help readers move, choose, and reclaim authorship—even when the path ahead is uncertain,” he concluded.
