Born in Western Montana and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Graham Hamilton is a graduate of the Juilliard School and 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. A Boomerang Grant recipient for Excellence in the Performing Arts, he would later win 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. After moving to Los Angeles, Hamilton produced and starred in the west coast premiere of Philip Ridley's Tender Napalm at SIX01 Studio in the DTLA arts district. 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 Echo Theatre Company, The Antaeus Company, The Shakespeare Center, and Word Theatre, he is based in the Pacific Northwest.
