Stephen Graham, who is a Bafta nominee, has received recognition in the New Year’s Honours list. The actor from Leicestershire who starred in the BBC TV program Line of Duty has been given the OBE for their contributions to drama.
For his performances in Time, Help, and Boiling Point, he received three Bafta nominations earlier this year.
In order to provide a forum for fresh and underrepresented perspectives, he founded a production company with his wife in 2020.
Trying to “create good stories that will be a broader depiction of the cultural characteristics of our society,” he said, is what Matriarch Productions would do.
For his performance in Channel 4’s The Virtues, he received a Royal Television Society Programme Award later that year for a best male actor.
