Stephen Graham has reflected on the unexpected opportunity that launched his film career, revealing how he landed a role in Guy Ritchie's 2000 gangster comedy Snatch almost by accident, and how the experience led to a lasting friendship with Hollywood star Brad Pitt.
The British actor, who has become one of the UK's most recognisable screen performers thanks to projects including Adolescence, Peaky Blinders and A Thousand Blows, was relatively unknown when he joined the cast of Snatch. Starring alongside Pitt, Jason Statham and Benicio del Toro, Graham played Tommy, the hapless business partner of Statham's character, Turkish.
