Life

Born in Belfast [1] and educated at the University of Ulster, where he took a degree in media studies, Graham trained for an acting career at a drama school in London. [2] In 1990 he played a minor part in a revival of Berenice at the Cottesloe Theatre, Lambeth, [1] and in 1991 appeared at the Dublin Theatre Festival in a production of Michael Collins Big Fella! by the Praxis Theatre Laboratory of Greenwich, playing the part of Eoin O'Duffy. [3]

Most of Graham's stage work has been in Dublin and Belfast, while in film and television he has worked in both Irish and British productions, specializing in playing Irishmen. However, his leading roles have included the part of the Englishman Howard Carter in Egypt (2005). [2]

In 2000, Graham directed the premiere of Gary Mitchell's new play, Marching On, at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast. [4]

In an interview in 2011, Graham commented

...if you are simply a jobbing actor, in order to have any sort of longevity in the industry, you have to hand over control of your life. [5]

In April 2017, he appeared in The Ferryman at the Royal Court Theatre, ahead of a transfer to the Gielgud Theatre in the West End. [6]
