Rupert Graves

The Killing of Mr. Toad was the title of the play in which Rupert Graves first showed his acting skills. In the same year, the guy left for London to share a scene with Harvey Firestin in the melodrama Sentimental Song (later the production was embodied in the 1988 film of the same name).

The directors didn't spend a lot of time evaluating Rupert Graves. Among other theater actors, he was distinguished by his boyish appearance and unusual, even frightening versatility - the Englishman was equally talented in playing the roles of a ladies' man, a cowboy and a criminal.

In the 1980s, Rupert Graves made his big screen debut. His most significant projects of those years were the melodrama Room with a View (1985) and the gay drama Maurice (1987).

Among the variety of proposals, every now and then poured in from directors, Graves preferred little-known and low-budget art houses to box-office, potentially successful films. Thanks to this, the Englishman has earned a reputation as a bright, bold and controversial actor like Johnny Depp.

Так, в драме «Пригоршня праха» Грейвз сыграл бедняка, который крутит роман с замужней светской львицей, в трагикомедии «Девочки любят иначе» (1996) выступил в роли любовника женщины-транссексуала. За столь же неоднозначную роль в фильме «Интимные отношения» (1996) Руперт Грейвз удостоился звания «Лучший актёр» на Всемирном кинофестивале в Монреале. Позже в интервью англичанин рассказал, чем руководствуется при выборе проектов:

Фильмография англичанина насчитывает около 40 сериалов, в том числе «Сага о Форсайтах» (2002–2003), за который Грейвз получил особое признание критиков, и порядка 50 фильмов. Его самой частой партнёршей на экране остаётся Хелена Бонем Картер: вместе актёры играли 4 раза — в фильмах «Комната с видом», «Морис», «Там, где даже ангелы боятся появиться» (1991) и «Мстители: игра для двоих» (1998).

The role by which even the most ignorant moviegoers know Rupert Graves is detective Greg Lestrade from the next film adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels about Sherlock Holmes. It was directed by Mark Gatiss. Benedict Cumberbatch (Holmes) and Martin Freeman (Watson) played an excellent role on the set for Graves, and the actor still has warm friendly relations with Una Stubbs, who played Mrs. Hudson.

The Englishman continues to conquer the cinema. So, on April 16, 2020, Russia will host the premiere of the comedy "Emma", the script of which is based on the novel of the same name by Jane Austen. Rupert Graves is by no means in the lead role, but he never aspired to shine the brightest.

Rupert Graves' filmography includes dozens of projects, but the series "Sherlock" with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in the lead roles made him widely known - the actor played Gregory Leistrade, one of the best detectives in London. Rupert also excelled on the stage of the theater.

The actor's biography dates back to June 30, 1963 in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England. His parents are tour operator Mary Luzilla (nee Roberts) Graves and music teacher, musician Richard Harding Graves.

In his youth, the Englishman was distinguished by a rebellious, restless character. He liked to attract attention to himself with shocking actions and ignore authority. He was a punk rocker.

Due to fundamental disobedience, Graves was not even able to get a general education: the leadership of the Wyvern Community School (now called Hans Price Academy) issued an order to expel the Englishman, barely 15 years old. Until now, he does not have a single diploma.

The circus became the first creative step for Graves - he worked as a clown. What at first was just entertainment, an opportunity to drive others and especially parents out of themselves, over time turned into a lifelong work. In 1983, the 20-year-old punk rocker made his stage debut.

In 1987, in his native Weston-super-Mayor, Rupert Graves met in a cafe with Yvonne, a stained-glass artist and gardener. Together with her children (at the time the relationship began, the guys were 10 and 14 years old), the lovers lived in Stoke Newington. The affair lasted 13 years, never being reborn into an official marriage.

In September 2000, Rupert Graves, at a party in honor of the premiere of The Caretaker, met with his participation Suzanne Lewis, then an aspiring director. A year later, the couple got married. Judging by family photos, Susie Lewis has Asian roots - both she and her children have a typical Mongoloid eye shape and face shape. It is also known that her ancestors are from Australia.
