Through the fall of 2011, U.K. actor Stephen Graham can be seen in his continuing role as U.S. gangster Al Capone on the acclaimed television series Boardwalk Empire; earlier this year, with his fellow actors from the show, he shared the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
The actor's breakout was his performance as Combo in Shane Meadows' BAFTA Award winner This is England, for which he received a British Independent Film Award (BIFA) nomination. Mr. Graham reprised his role in the follow-up miniseries This is England '86.
His other notable U.K. television credits include the miniseries Occupation and The Street; his work in the latter earned him a Royal Television Society Award nomination. Mr. Graham next begins work on Susanna White's miniseries Parade's End, adapted by Tom Stoppard from Ford Madox Ford's books, starring with Benedict Cumberbatch of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
His other feature films include Rob Marshall's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Michael Mann's Public Enemies, both alongside Johnny Depp; Ami Canaan Mann's Texas Killing Fields; Tom Hooper's The Damned United; William Monahan's London Boulevard; David Blair's Best Laid Plans; and Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York.
