Stephen Graham, who earned widespread praise for his work in Adolescence, has revealed an unconventional but telling approach to preparing for his next major role: watching true-crime content with his wife ahead of appearing in Nocturne, in which he plays a serial killer.
The acclaimed British actor's method reflects a grounded, research-driven approach to inhabiting difficult characters. Rather than relying solely on traditional acting preparation, Graham turned to real-world criminal cases alongside his partner to better understand the psychology behind the role.
The move from the emotionally charged Adolescence to a serial killer drama in Nocturne marks another intense chapter in Graham's career, cementing his reputation for taking on demanding and morally complex portrayals.
