As ever, the New Year's Honours List 2023 features a number of famous faces, including Liverpool-born actor Stephen Graham.
The 49-year-old has received an OBE for services to drama, having won awards for playing Irish, English and American criminals and police officers in various blockbuster Hollywood films and hit TV dramas across his thirty year career. He starred in the 2000 crime comedy film Snatch alongside Brad Pitt and Jason Statham, as well as 2019's gangster epic The Irishman, where he played real-life mobster Anthony Provenzano alongside Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
More recently, he starred in Help alongside fellow Scouser Jodie Comer. The landmark drama based in a Liverpool care-home premiered on Channel 4 in September 2021, with its 1.1 million streams in just four days making it the biggest ever launch of a new drama on the broadcaster.
