From early beginnings Graham’s love of acting was apparent. He took part in school plays and enjoyed drama workshops. As he got older he joined the Crown Players of Kings Theatre and most noticeably took part in a very well received version of Dads Army. Later success followed when he completed a screen test and was cast for the lead role in the short film ‘Love in the Time of Moleneux’. Then out of 400 candidates he was short listed on the BBC Talent Fund search that sought disabled actors. So impressed was one of the producers at the Talent Fund that Graham was asked to play a part in a University film project. Graham was cast in the 2006 film Flyboys as a French Peasant whose arm had been blown off during WW1. Graham has modeled twice, once for his University and then being invited to represent his local higher education college, with pictures of him used for 8 months to promote the college.

| Graham has earned international success as a Great Britain Paralympian winning 4 gold medals in the 100 and 200 meter disciplines in a career that has spanned Paralympic and World Championships and has been ranked as high as fourth in the world for one armed sprinters. Aside from athletics he has varied hobbies that belittle his disability. He plays the guitar one handed, mountain bikes across rough terrain, water skis, knee boards, races Go-Karts and claims to be “the best one handed goal keeper in the country!” He is physically fit and continues working on fitness and strength conditioning at present |
Academically, Graham graduated with First Class Honours from University, winning a national financial award for his original dissertation that looked at the learning effects of computers on persons on the autistic spectrum. His academic achievements were all the more impressive as he was also in full time training for the Sydney Paralympic Games.
