Adolescence star Stephen Graham's next big role will be playing the father of Bruce Springsteen in the rock icon's biopic starring Jeremy Allen White as The Boss.
Graham plays Eddie Miller, the father of Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), a 13-year-old boy accused of stabbing a female classmate to death in Netflix's hit drama Adolescence.
The four-episode limited series chronicles in real-time four separate days in the case, which begins with the arrest and interrogation of Jamie, and concludes 13 months later with Eddie and his family still trying to cope with the tragedy as the teen prepares to go to trial.
While Graham, Cooper and company continue to win accolades for Adolescence, the veteran film and television actor continues his work as Douglas 'Dutch' Springsteen on Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper's Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere opposite The Bear star White.
The logline for Deliver Me from Nowhere notes that the film follows 'Bruce Springsteen's journey crafting his 1982 album Nebraska, which emerged as he recorded Born in the USA with the E Street Band.'
Deliver Me from Nowhere also stars Gaby Hoffmann, Paul Walter Hauser, David Krumholtz and Marc Maron.

During a recent interview with the podcast Soundtracking (via The Guardian), Stephen Graham shared with host Edith Bowman a personal text he received from Bruce Springsteen after his work on Deliver Me from Nowhere.
'He's a working-class hero. He's an icon to thousands, to millions,' Graham told Bowman of Springsteen. '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.''
Graham said he was overcome with emotion while reading the text from the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
'I was crying reading the text, do you know what I mean? Oh mate, it was beautiful,' Graham told Bowman. 'You couldn't ask for anything more, you know, to share that with someone was gorgeous. He's a lovely man.'
Per Variety, Deliver Me from Nowhere started production in October of 2024 and is set to be released sometime in 2025.
Meanwhile, viewers can see Graham in Adolescence on Netflix. The limited series, which debuted atop Netflix's Global TV shows chart four days after its March 13 release, placed No. 1 again in its second week of release with 42 million views, which equates to 161 million hours viewed.
In addition to Graham and Owen Cooper, Adolescence stars Ashley Walters and Faye Marsay as detectives Luke Bascombe and Misha Frank, Erin Doherty as child psychologist Briony Ariston, Christine Tremarco as Eddie's wife, Manda, and Amelie Pease and their daughter and Jamie's sister, Lisa.
All four episodes of Adolescence are streaming on Netflix.

Netflix Will Invest $1 Billion For Original Productions In Spain
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos in Madrid during the ... More streaming company's 10th anniversary celebration. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos announced the streaming giant will invest more than one billion euros in Spain (about US$1.14 billion) between 2025 and 2028, reinforcing its long-term commitment to original productions and helping support more than 20,000 jobs across the country. Sarandos revealed the company's plans at a special event celebrating Netflix's 10th anniversary in Spain, held at its 22,000-square-meter production hub in Tres Cantos, Madrid. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and other government officials attended the ceremony. "With this investment, we will be able to contribute even more to the Spanish economy. Create more Spanish jobs. Tell more great stories made in Spain. Support the next generation of creative talent here in Spain," said Sarandos, noting that Netflix has filmed in over 200 cities and towns across the country, bringing to the screen "all the different sides of Spain." The investment builds on Netflix's decade-long presence in Spain, during which the company has produced more than 1,000 Spanish titles since 2017. Spanish films and series have proven highly successful for Netflix, generating over five billion viewing hours on the platform last year alone. "Money Heist" (La Casa de Papel) was Netflix's first most-watched non-English language series. Major Spanish productions include global hits, such as its first original series Cable Girls and Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) - the streamer's first most-watched non-English-language series. "Dali masks, red jumpsuits, Bella Ciao - all of them have become instantly recognisable parts of the global culture," stated Sarandos, while showcasing some of Netflix's top Spanish originals, which also include Elite, its longest-running international series ever, and the Oscar-nominated film Society of the Snow, about the tragic 1972 plane crash in the Andes, which won 12 Goya awards. Another Spanish production, A Widow's Game (La viuda negra), based on real events, has been No. 1 on Netflix's Global Top 10 non-English films for the past two weeks. The company also produced a 10-year anniversary sizzle reel of its productions: Netflix's investment in Spain follows a similar billion-dollar commitment to Mexico announced earlier this year, reflecting the company's broader strategy to develop authentic regional content that appeals to both local and international audiences.
