If an actor was paid solely on how much work he did in a year, then Rupert Graves would be a millionaire many times over.

It has been said many times before that he is one of the busiest thespians around, and never a more factual statement in the world of entertainment has been made.

Looking back from his beginning in television - a small part in the cult television series, "The Return Of The Saint", in 1978, followed by the role of Yan in an adaptation of Enid Blyton's "Five Go Down To The Sea" in 1979.
