Happy Birthday to Scottish actor Graham McTavish, who turns 54 today!
Graham was born on January 4, 1961 in Glasgow, Scotland.
Graham’s resume is very impressive and quite long to say the least! We all know about his role in The Hobbit as Dwalin of course, but where else can we witness his remarkable acting skills? Some of Graham’s most notable appearances are found inRambo, Columbiana, Middlemen, and Secretariat. On television, he can be found on shows such as NCIS, NUMB3RS, CSI: Miami, Lost, Prison Break, and 24. If you’re in the UK, you will remember him for his roles in Red Dwarf, Sharpe’s Challenge, Green Street 2, and The Wicker Tree. This past year, Graham was filming back home in Scotland for his role as Dougal MacKenzie in the TV series Outlander.
In addition to his film and television roles, Graham has taken on numerous leading roles in theatre and has helped bring life to many popular video game characters. You can find him in the wildly successful Uncharted series as well as Dante’s Inferno.

He was also part of the TV series Jekyll that starred James Nesbitt (Bofur). In 2008, Graham played the part of Hansel Von Getz in an episode of Pushing Daisies, which featured Lee Pace (Thranduil) in the leading role.
