Personal life
In 1987 in his hometown of Weston-super-Mare, Graves met Yvonne, a stained glass artist (later a trained gardener) in a café. They lived together in Stoke Newington, London and he helped her raise her two daughters, who were 10 and 14 years old when the relationship began. They were together for 13 years.
In September 2000, shortly after Graves's relationship with Yvonne ended, he met Australian-born production co-ordinator Suzanne Lewis at the opening-night party for The Caretaker, a play he was appearing in with Michael Gambon. They married and have five children together.
Career
Graves's first job after leaving school was as a circus clown. He has appeared in more than 25 films and more than 35 television productions. He has also appeared on stage.
He first came to prominence in costume-drama adaptations of E. M.
