Tony Stamp in The Bill (1984) more authentic.
When he was working as a plaster technician - in the early 70's - he set up Malcolm McDowell's traction body-cast for the last scenes of "A Clockwork Orange". But he did not meet either McDowell or Stanley Kubrick, nor indeed see his handywork because a typically closed film set.
Graham met his wife in 1979 when he was an entertainer at an English
holiday camp where Cherry was having a break with her parents.
They have two children Matthew, 24, and Laura, 22.
Prior to his acting debut, he worked in an Essex hospital's fracture
clinic as a plaster technician. After taking part in a hospital panto
one year, his colleagues were so impressed with his performance they
urged him to pursue an acting career.
He developed a condition called pulsatile tinnitus that started to
affect his hearing - his doctor warned that he could become deaf.
Graham took time off from filming The Bill to have an operation on his
ear which fully restored his hearing.
