Let’s face facts: Stephen Graham is one of TV and film’s ultimate sleeper agents.

For a very long time, his was the face that kept popping up all over the place, from The Bill, Coronation Street, Heartbeat and Band Of Brothers to Pirates Of The Caribbean, Snatch and This Is England. He’s even starred in a handful of Arctic Monkeys music videos.

Then, just like that, his Al Capone became our number one reason to watch Boardwalk Empire, and since then he’s positively dazzled us in a bevy of hard-boiled British dramas: think Line Of Duty, Peaky Blinders, Time, Save Me and Help, to name just a few.
