“Irishman” star Stephen Graham is getting into the production business.
The British actor tells Variety that he has set up a production company entitled Matriarch Productions, which he is to run with his wife, the actor Hannah Walters – a close collaborator on all of Graham’s projects.
The business, which is currently based out of Leicestershire in northern England, where the couple lives, is to give a platform to underrepresented voices and stories out of the U.K.
Graham, who grew up outside Liverpool, first found fame through star turns in gritty dramas such as Shane Meadows’ “This Is England” and Jimmy McGovern’s “Accused.”
Though he has gone on to star in studio fare such as “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and the forthcoming Marvel entry “Venom 2,” he says he is selective about the roles he pursues, and won’t turn his back on portraying working-class characters in British drama.
