Mini bio

  • David Graham was born on July 11, 1925 in Hackney, London, England, UK. He was an actor and writer, known for Thunderbird 6 (1968), Stingray (1964) and Supercar (1961). He died on September 20, 2024 in the UK.

Trivia

  • He was widely acknowledged as one of Britain's most versatile voice actors. In 2001, he did commercials for Zed Credit Cards in New Zealand as one of his characters, Brains, from the cult television series Thunderbirds (1965). The company's tagline is "Zed - the card with Brains".
  • Nicholas Briggs argued that Graham is one of the three most influential Dalek voice actors, along with Peter Hawkins and Roy Skelton.
  • He was one of the earliest Dalek voice actors on the long-running science fiction series Doctor Who (1963), contributing to several stories which featured the First Doctor, William Hartnell.
  • Was the last surviving member of the voice cast from Four Feather Falls (1960), Supercar (1961), Fireball XL5 (1962), Stingray (1964) and Thunderbirds (1965) until his death on the 20th September, 2024.
  • In February 2013 he was interviewed by Paddy O'Connell for BBC Radio 2 about his role as one of the early voices of the Daleks, following the death of the Dalek designer Raymond Cusick.

Quotes

  • [on Parker in Thunderbirds Are Go (2015)] He's in my vocal DNA, so I didn't really have a lot of trouble regenerating him. I'm getting on a bit, but my voice hasn't changed that much.
  • [on Rosamund Pike] She's very professional and very lovely!
