Graham trained in London at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama and then at The Arts Educational Schools. He has worked extensively in the theatre for over thirty years as an actor and photographer. In stage management, including five years at The Royal National Theatre London, he worked with such luminaries as Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench and Sir Anthony Hopkins. Graham made his Australian debut following his very first audition in this country, with Perth Theatre Company, appearing alongside Maggie Kirkpatrick in 'A Passionate Woman' directed by the late Alan Becher. This performance earned him significant praise from both Ron Banks and Alison Farmer. His television appearances include playing Sir Reginald Ansett in 'Air Australia' for the ABC.
