Born in Western Montana and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Graham Hamilton has been acting professionally for over ten years. A graduate of the Juilliard School, he has performed in New York, London, and in regional theatres across the country exploring a variety of genres from American contemporary to French farce to Shakespeare and the Avant Garde. In 2005 he was awarded a Boomerang Grant for Excellence in the Performing Arts, and in 2011, won the prestigious Helen Hayes Best Actor award for his performance in Hamlet at the Folger Shakespeare Library. The production also went on to win the award for Best Play.
In 2013, Hamilton produced and starred in the west coast premiere of Philp Ridley's Tender Napalm at SIX01 Studio in downtown Los Angeles. The sold out production was widely celebrated, garnering Ovation and Drama Critics Circle nominations and ultimately going on to win four LA Weekly awards including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Fight Choreography.
A proud member of The Antaeus Company, The Shakespeare Center, and Word Theatre, he is based in Los Angeles.
