Yeah, he's got balls. But those veteran actors recognise that and give him respect.

and you can see it on Al Pacino's face for a second.

To be fair, the guy responding with 'right down the middle, beautiful' steals the show if it's really not scripted. Great line, fits the character.

Lol, what.. I've read some meaningless shit in my time and this thread is up there.

Gregg Paiva i couldn’t believe it when I just heard him open his mouth 😂

@UCqDp7yQOvU8-XH9OsmwmO3g no he's 100% English. The accent he's got is the "Scouse" accent from Liverpool.

Have you never seen boardwalk empire. He is an amazing actor. Want to see him in something gritty then watch series of this is england. Incredible actor

Ever seen Snatch?? That's Tommy, the "sidekick" of Jason Statham's character, "Turkish"

@@ledferrelin That's right!!! He played more of a wuss than a hardcore Wiseguy from the Big Apple.

he truly is, cant wait for him to play a big villain like so many other legendary brits

one of the best actors of his generation

He’s one of the best actors of this generation period.. not just out of the UK crowd 👌👌👌 what a gem of an actor he is in every film or series i’ve seen him in

He's irish

Kristopher Watson - he’s scouse

He was doing every accent at school was in same school I can hear scouse 😂but that's only coz we went thru skool together he's great actor always was

As Al capone he was great in boardwalk empire

Gavin Foreman The movie’s name is “Snatch” I think.

Mike Golbdberg have you seen snatch? Where in that film is he a carer for anyone ?

Callum’s sister Amy You’re right. He isn’t a carer for anyone in that movie. I vaguely remember there was illegal fighting in that movie but it was a gipsy dude who wasn’t handicapped at all.

This guy should have played Jimmy Hoffa; he looks like Hoffa and his speech pattern is very distinct like Hoffa whereas Pacino sort of slurs everything. Pacino would have been great as Tony Pro who he looked like and spoke more like but I guess he had to have the bigger role...

@@eightiesmusic1984 If you can explain why you believe that, I'd appreciate it.

I'm not a big movie/TV series kind of guy so my opinion doesn't mean anything, but everytime i've seen a clip with Graham in it he does an absolutely phenomenal job. I legitimately don't think i've ever seen him in a scene where he doesn't nail it

I'm not sure what you mean. The man's won multiple awards for his performances and has worked with some of the most prestigious directors and actors of our time.

shhhhhhhhh lower your fucking voice

Christ I hate the term underrated, the most overused and least understood word on KZfaq, He started his career in TV and Movies in the same year, 1990, dude has won many awards stretching back to 2006, nominated for many more and is making and starring in many more movies and TV shows to which it's guaranteed he'll win more awards, that's not in any way, shape or form "underrated" Maybe back in the mid 90s you could come close to saying he was underrated but underrated today or even last year when you wrote that comment... nah not in the slightest.

Persia dude I thought this guy was Italian lol. He played Capone and provanzano so well and his accent is so convincing. Crazy.

Persia ..yes he did

did not know he did that, gonna have give that a look

Vagrant Odyssey i loved Boardwalk...kinda like the Sopranos where it drags at times but the action does get pretty intense...i dont think you be dissapointed...💯

Holy Shit ! An Englishman playing TONY PRO ? Great Job . How bout making SUNDAY SAUCE @ www.amazon.com/Sunday-Sauce-When-Italian-Americans-Cook/dp/1490991026 .

I have to disagree. I could hear his Scouse accent a lot.

Yup when I first heard him speak it threw me for a loop

He plays a very similar character with a similar accent in Boardwalk Empire (he plays a young Capone) and I would never have guessed he was British. I also woulda swore he was Italian.

Me too, gave this movie a thumbs up.

A BROOKLYN NEW YORK ITALIAN FROM CARLO GAMBINOS OLD NEIGHBORHOOD

There's also his talent for making scenes. It's a talent even rarer than the 3 you mentionned. You walk into a made up scene that's already been fabricated and you just have to follow the orders of the director. But you're skilled enough to override literally everyone else and make that scene YOURS. YOU change it. YOU decide what happens in that scene. For as long as Hollywood has been a thing, any actor that could do this went on to become an absolute acting monster. Denzel, Sam. L Jackson, McConaughey ... Masters of their craft.

The only accent I've seen him fail at was Welsh which shocked me as Scouser are normally good at Welsh because of their use of the "chh" sound in their own accent as well

@A-small-amount-of-peas yeah I don't think it's unfair to say modern Liverpudlian has been influenced by Welsh to a degree, possibly Irish too Perhaps Welsh is too close to Scouser that his brain just goes "Oh, Scouse, great!"

Deffo

Actors are just people. Its not fucking rocket science especially when you dedicate your life to be good at something. I think people give actors a bit too much praise because they dont realize that everything in life is easy if you invest your time into being good at it. The problem is that many people have this cognitive block where they think they arent good and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Robert Deniro and Al Pacino arent special, they are just men. Marlon Brando essentially had a contempt for acting thinking it was the easiest thing in the world while also never bothering to learn his lines, Alfred Hitchcock said actors were like cattle and I think his meaning is that actors were interchangeable and expendable due to how many there were. Especially with film acting I mean you have how many takes to get things right, its nothing like theatre acting. Yeah they are good actors but theres no need to put these people on a pedestal.

Yeah 2 heavyweight old men who are professionals at being fake. Putting actors on pedestals 😆

you're so right

So diverse in his acting abilities

he deserves best supporting actor nomination but it's sad that pesci and pacino are locks and you can't have 3 noms from same movie

@@mukundmalpani9206 I personally thought Pacino over acted in some scenes, was a bit OTT at times but Pesci was brilliant and the best out of the whole bunch, Keitel, Deniro and Pacino also Graham, if you like Graham he's starred in some superb British TV programmes, series that he's superb in, you should check.them out, he doesn't just do movies

@@coolinism He over acts anywhere that's why he's Pacino. I kinda don't mind it.

Thank you Elon, very cool!

So Dope!!!

That’s a hell of a reputation right there. He should be proud

And De Niro, in the same scene!

I wonder if scorsese comes up with a movie with him in mind next time

I first saw him in Snatch and thought he was really from London. He’s a truly great British actor - I know someone who knew him down in London and said this guy was so humble and cool and clearly very observant when he was chilling in London. I really thought he was from London and yes now he plays tough guys mainly but Tommy in snatch is not tough until the end sort of…he’s a wannabe and he played it to the hilt.

jyc313 Graham? Didnt ring any bells?

How did you not know he wqs British? Have you seriously never see snatch or this is England?

even in Boardwalk Empire people never realized he was British. He was also Sgt/Pvt Raney who instigated the NCO revolt against Cpt Sobel in Band of Brother

Yep he’s from here in Liverpool

Really.....the Beatles for instance, am Scousers

C V it’s called talent

Its called being good at your job!

SOMEhow the Brits pull it off. How many American actors and actresses pull of a British accent?

Because anyone can do a new york accent. The other way around though? Impossible.

@Faze Ruggy Good comeback you cheeky bugger......👍

I mean can you blame him? if you are fan of mafia movies (which he probably is) those 2 guys are like gods... and so is Scorsese

He was the guy who was killed for talking too much by Gip Rossetti in Broadwalk Empire.

@@CoolioXXX52 Well his character isn't from New York.

kajcsapapa nah just a speech therapist accent expert and couple weeks practice is all

He’s played Americans for a long, long time. Besides, it’s easy for UK people to do an American accent, especially an old time mob guy. For some reason, even brilliant American actors can’t do a decent English accent

Ryan Herich It’s an old NY/NJ accent.

His face reminds me of that movie right away :D He was great!

I remember him from Band of Brothers, never heard of This is England. Naturally it’s not on any of my streaming services.

i will always remember him as that neo nazi skinhead that beats up a jamaican skinhead.

Watch Snatch, way before This is England. Gotta be the first movie I've seen him on, cult classic movie.

I remember him from Snatch. He's a great actor

@@eightiesmusic1984 The only way I think you could argue he 'seems similar' is that he brings intensity to many of his roles, and many of his roles are characters with depth, volatility, brooding. But I'm happy to be educated as to why British film fans are naive and easily impressed....

@@skiptracerbob For starters I would say it one of the main reason is that British film fans tend to be parochial in their tastes, not stepping outside English language films. There is a great reluctance to embrace subtitled films from abroad which means that so much compelling drama with high quality acting is missed, thus narrowing the frame of reference. There is a reason why the UK film industry is not very successful; there is little demand for its output beyond these shores.

@@eightiesmusic1984 I was more interested in hearing your opinion, as it seemed like you have a strong one when it comes to british film fans. I don't doubt many are parochial and reluctant to engage in the broad spectrum of filmmaking from across the world - and I could see why that opinion intersects with your poor opinion of Steven Graham - but I don't see why any of what you've said makes him any less of a fantastic, compelling actor. I would also say, don't confuse interest in someone's opinion with an unwillingness to educate themselves. On the contrary.

@@skiptracerbob Fair comment Bob, I stand corrected. I did hesitate with my opening observation and will amend it as it is not always clear what is meant by the comments of others below the line. I apologise and take on board your last comment too. I wish you all the best.

@@eightiesmusic1984 No probs! Always good to get someone else's perspective, especially when there is so much praise one way under the video :) all the best!

Funnily enough Stephen Graham played Al "Scarface" Capone in Boardwalk Empire. Robert DeNiro also played Al "Scarface" Capone in The Untouchables, so you had 3 Scarfaces sitting at that table, two depicting the real Al "Scarface" Capone and one depicting a fictional Tony "Scarface" Montana. 3 Scarfaces, one table, pretty cool.

You can drop mics after that.

Lucas Stone Hell yea bro! I hadn’t made that connection 👊

Not g for white peoples we think you meant gees but didn’t spell the rest of the word 😂 you’re the kid for life gees. You see

Lucas Stone damn! Yeah you win

Pacino, Pesci, and Graham deserve all the awards. Deniro was good too, by default, lol.

Who? Tony? Which Tony?

@@MixSonaProductions They are all named Tony. What's with the italians? Cant they think of another name?

Shirley Toussaint totally agree, but it seems like De Niro won’t get his deserved recognition at the Oscars. They also have two big supporting actors so Stephen Graham wouldn’t make it in. But he definitely deserves to.
