Following service in the Royal Airforce as a radar mechanic, David Graham trained at the Neighbourhood Playhouse School of Theatre, New York and later, recommended by director, Michael Blakemore, he auditioned for Laurence Olivier’s theatre company, eventually appearing alongside him in Saturday Sunday Morning (1978) using an Italian accent.
Graham’s long association with British producer, director and writer, Gerry Anderson began in 1958 and he went on to become the voice of many of Anderson’s characters throughout the 1960s including, his debut puppet roles, Grandpa Twink and Fernando, in Four Feather Falls, Dr. Beaker, Zarin and Mitch the Monkey in Supercar, Mat Matic and Lieutenant Ninety in Fireball XL5, various guest characters in Stingray, and Johnny in Crossroads to Crime.
His most well-known role would come in Thunderbirds with his portrayal of Aloysious ‘Nosey’ Parker (whose voice he based on a waiter at the King’s Arms pub in Cookham), alongside his other regular roles as the voices of aquanaut Gordon Tracy, International Rescue engineer Brains, and the Tracy family’s faithful manservant Kyrano.
