One of the most in-demand names on British TV and a regular supporting star in major Hollywood titles (including 'The Irishman,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage'), Graham has now made the transition to film leading man with an audacious one-shot drama, and has a BAFTA nomination to show for it.
PiratesGiven such high esteem and high demand from the industry, it feels almost ridiculous that Graham has only just now followed up on his 2015 BAFTA TV nomination with recognition from the British Academy’s more illustrious, film-loving big brother. But even he notes that, Philip Barantini’s one-shot kitchen drama — in which he plays the embattled head chef in a bustling but troubled London restaurant and is now nominated for best leading actor — marks something of a turning point.
“I’ve turned up on set before and I’d be like number 63 on the call sheet,” he says. “So it was my idea to not have numbers on our call sheet. There’s usually this hierarchy, but I was like ‘no numbers.’ Because to me, each and every one of the people involved are an integral piece of the jigsaw. And without that person, we don’t get the film.”
“It was like, oh look at us, two little kids from council estates, and look what we’ve managed to do.”
