Jodie Comer presents Stephen Graham with The Richard Harris Award.
Stephen Graham has achieved almost legendary status as a hugely talented and versatile performer, having taken on roles from Combo, a bitter, emotionally damaged neo-Nazi in Shane Meadows’ BIFA-winning This Is England (2007), to Shang in Scorsese’s mighty Gangs of New York (2002).
Graham is also known for supporting new talent, famously recommending a young Jodie Comer to his agent and has spoken of the difficulties working-class actors face in breaking through.
The Richard Harris Award recognises an outstanding contribution by an actor to British film. It has previously been bestowed upon the likes of Samantha Morton, Riz Ahmed, Helena Bonham Carter, Julie Walters, and Emma Thompson.
