‘Bring your partner to work’ day: Stephen Graham and his wife Hannah star together in 13 productions, including Line of Duty and the new Disney series A Thousand Blows
For Scouse actor Stephen Graham, it’s a case of “bring your wife to work” almost EVERY day.
That’s because the Line Of Duty actor has starred in 13 of his movies and TV shows alongside partner Hannah Walters.
Recently, she played a role in his latest project, the Disney series A Thousand Blows.
While Bafta winner Graham, 49, plays boxer Sugar Goodson and executive produces the drama, Ms Walters stars as a member of a gang of women terrorizing London.
It’s not thought to play a major role, but in the 2021 gritty drama Time, Mrs. Walters played Sonia, the onscreen wife of her husband who played the lead Eric, a prison warden.

“I actually canceled on him. “What are you doing? Why are you putting my name in there? You shouldn’t have,” Ms Walters said of her husband, who hired her in 2021.
However, what she failed to mention is that they were the perfect on-screen match in Shane Meadows’s This Is England, This Is England ’88 and This Is England ’90 where she played Trudy.
Other productions they have both starred in include Boiling Point, Walk Like A Panther, Funny Cow and Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Speaking of how his wife helps him prepare for his roles, Graham, who was awarded an OBE for services to drama on Thursday, said in 2020: ‘I’m dyslexic so I’m struggling. My wife reads the script and says if I do it or not. She made good choices.’
Graham and Mrs Walters, 46, married in 2008.
Other productions they have both starred in include the BBC series Time
