About

Born in Cornwall, England, Kenneth Graham Stamp—known to friends and colleagues as Ken—grew up with a strong sense of adventure. The son of Avon sales lady Hilda and Ship to Shore radio operator Ray, he spent his formative years in North Wales and later attended college in Leicester. Afterward, Ken spent two decades travelling the world, exploring the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East, all while working in a variety of professions. It wasn’t until he returned to the UK that he was introduced to the world of acting—a career he would take on with remarkable dedication.

Though he studied drama in college, Ken didn’t embrace acting until later in life. His journey into the profession was unconventional, but his natural talent quickly caught the attention of directors and co-actors alike. Praised for his exceptional dedication and captivating presence, Ken’s performances have been described as “mesmerising” and “intense,” earning him widespread acclaim.

Now, firmly established as a respected international actor, recently, he filmed in Egypt alongside Amr Saad for the highly anticipated summer 2025 blockbuster THE CROWS, and in Germany for the beautifully atmospheric GASLIGHTS (2025).

Ken’s talent has also been recognised at prestigious film festivals. He won Best Actor, at the Cannes World Film Festival 2023 for his powerful lead performance in the award-winning GOING HOME. And again for his lead in DRIVER.

Ken’s filmography includes roles, such as the husband of Grace, played by Lindsay Duncan, in the heartfelt family drama CALL ME BACK, as well as significant supporting roles in the critically acclaimed DRAGONFLIES ONLY LIVE FOR 24 Hrs. and the upcoming IRISH ASHES (2024).

In addition to acting in, Ken contributes creatively to the projects he is part of, bringing a deeper understanding of his character and a stronger emotional depth to his performances.
