The Netflix four-part series ‘Adolescence’ is currently the most popular show globally across the streaming platform. The series features a powerful story, an incredible script, prodigious direction and a cast of actors who are all outstanding.

One of the lead characters is Eddie Miller with the role of the father in the drama wonderfully played by British actor Stephen Graham with the 51-year-old also one of the co writers of the series. Graham is famous for previous roles in the films ‘This is England’ and Guy Ritchie’s ‘Snatch’.

The next assignment for the Kirby born actor is a role as Bruce Springsteen’s father Douglas ‘Dutch’ Springsteen in the forthcoming biopic ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’.

The film is expected to be released later in 2025 and is written and directed by Scott Cooper, based on Warren Zanes’ 2023 book, and stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen.

Message from ‘The Boss’

Speaking on Edith Bowman’s ‘Soundtracking’ podcast, Graham confessed that a text message from Springsteen touched an emotional nerve.

Graham stated: “Bruce is a working-class hero. He’s an icon to thousands, to millions. And his text just said, ‘Thank you so much. You know, my father passed away a while ago and I felt like I saw him today and thank you for giving me that memory.’

“I was crying reading the text, do you know what I mean? Oh mate, it was beautiful. You couldn’t ask for anything more, you know, to share that with someone was gorgeous. He’s a lovely man.”

‘Adolescence’ is available for streaming now via Netflix with ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ set for cinema release later in 2025.
