Graham Norton (Host)
Born: April 04, 1963 in Dublin
Best Known For: His double entendres and cheeky chat show.
Early-life: Born Graham William Walker on 4 April, 1963, in Dublin. Studied English and French at Cork University and came top in his exams before dropping out after his second year to join a commune in San Francisco. Later arrived in Britain to study at the Central School of Drama in London. Initially wanted to play serious parts, but realised he was better at making people laugh and concentrated on comedy.
Career: Started as a stand-up comedian, presented short-lived game show Carnal Knowledge and appeared on Father Ted. Got his big break in 1997 presenting The Jack Docherty Show while the regular host was on holiday. Norton won Best Newcomer at the British Comedy Awards, beating Docherty who had been nominated for the same plaudit. In 1998, he landed his own chat show, So Graham Norton, and started the production company, So Television. He signed a multi-million-dollar contract to host an American version of his chat show, The Graham Norton Effect, before moving to the BBC in 2004, presenting programmes including Strictly Dance Fever and The Bigger Picture. Since then, his star has gone into orbit, fronting endless musical reality shows, resurrecting his chat show, and recently taking over as the voice of Eurovision.
Quote: On how he purchases clothes - "If it's shiny, I buy it."
Trivia: He writes an advice column in The Daily Telegraph.
Stephen Graham (Guest)
Born: August 03, 1973 in Kirkby, Lancashire
Best Known For: Playing Combo in This Is England and its TV sequels.
Early-life: Stephen Graham Kelly was born on August 3, 1973 in Kirkby, Lancashire to a pediatric nurse mother and social worker father. He joined Youth Theatre at 14 before studying for a BTEC in Performing Arts and then getting a place at the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in London. For years, he played small parts in TV shows and films before landing his first big role in Snatch (2000).
Career: Since playing the role of Tommy in Snatch (2000), Graham's film credits have included Gangs of New York (2002), Public Enemies (2009) and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011). He was cast as Combo in This Is England (2006) and its TV sequels This Is England '86 (2010), This Is England '88 (2011) and This Is England '90 (2015). From 2010 to 2014, he played the infamous gangster Al Capone in the TV drama Boardwalk Empire.
Quote: "If I get the walk of a character, that helps me find them. So I'm constantly looking at airports and train stations, registering walks."
Trivia: He was nominated for Best Leading Actor at the BAFTA Awards in 2016 for his performance in This Is England ‘90.
Kaley Cuoco (Guest)
Adrian Lester (Guest)
Born: August 14, 1968 in Birmingham
Best Known For: Playing Mickey in Hustle.
Early-life: Adrian was born in Birmingham on August 14, 1968. His father left the family when Adrian was nine years old, and he was subsequently raised by his mother in the city's Edgbaston district. He has an older brother and a younger half-sister from his mother's second marriage. He became a huge comic-book fan as a child, and still loves reading them today, although he now prefers to call them graphic novels: "It makes me sound older and a bit more mature," he claims.
Career: After deciding to become an actor, Lester attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. On graduating, he began a successful stage career. He made his film debut in 1991's Touch and Die. TV parts and little-seen movies followed, before he landed a lead role in 1998's Primary Colors alongside John Travolta and Emma Thompson. However, despite Lester's first opportunity to shine in such an impressive Hollywood movie, he failed to capitalise on it - though he eventually returned to acting a year later in TV movie Storm Damage. Since then he's enjoyed several successful stage runs, as well as appearances in films Love's Labours Lost (2000), Maybe Baby (2000) and The Day After Tomorrow (2004), but TV's Hustle remains his most famous project to date. He took time out from the show in 2006, but made a triumphant return to the role in 2009 until the series ended in 2012. In 2013, he played the title role in Othello at the National Theatre. He had a recurring role on short-lived American teen drama Red Band Society. In 2016, he starred in TV mini-series Undercover.
Quote: "I am so aware of being pigeonholed. If I stay on one track of work, so many other doors silently close."
Trivia: In 2013, he received an OBE and an honorary degree from the University of Warwick.
