Due to his struggle with dyslexia, Stephen Graham’s wife has a significant impact on his career. Netflix’s most recent drama, Adolescence, stars Stephen as the father of a 13-year-old boy named Jamie who is accused of murder. The Boiling Point star is seen on television.
His numerous roles received praise from fans as well. The actor has helped his wife with the script reading, despite receiving numerous BAFTA nominations over the years. Hannah Walters, an actress and producer, and Stephen and his wife Hannah haven’t spoken on a rant since they first met in drama school.
Hannah, who has been married to the actor since 2008, has stayed with her husband throughout his career and even examines scripts that have been given to him to aid in his decision-making. On a panel at the BAFTAs, he said, “I struggle because I’m dyslexic.” My girlfriend actually reads the script and decides whether or not I’m acting. She made some wise judgments.
“I have to read it, read it, read it, and then make it appear as though it’s my first time saying it.” He previously discussed how to prepare for roles while dealing with dyslexia.
He said, “I read the entire script and we can talk about it and I find my way into my character and what’s happening along the way,” in an interview with Act on This. It’s a skill that Hannah and I have developed; we both know how to do it.
I break it down into manageable chunks so I know what I’m shooting on what day. It’s not beneficial to have it all in your head if you have a few memorable days off. Although it’s good to have it somewhere, I’ll have to go back to my hotel room after we finish our work to study those lines the next day, so when I arrive the following day, I’ll be ready.
I respect each actor’s unique style, and I respect each. It would be best for me to do the work if I had to give any actor any advice because it requires doing the work to make it appear as though you don’t do it.
The 13-year-old boy accused of murder is the father of in Stephen’s film Adolescence, which has received positive reviews so far. According to Stephen, the gritty drama was created as a response to the rising knife crime rate among teenagers in the UK. The actor previously stated that he typically adopts the method acting model, which requires actors to remain in their roles throughout the production and between scenes, which is challenging for dark dramas like Adolescence.
However, Stephen frequently applauded Hannah’s continued support during challenging circumstances and was nominated for a BAFTA for his role in 2021’s Boiling Point. He claims to have been Hannah’s biggest fan ever since. I remember watching Hannah in drama class back in the day and always thought she was brilliant, Hannah said Stephen.
