We will miss you dearly, David.
Our thoughts are with David’s friends and family.”
He began his career in entertainment after moving to the U.S. and studied acting in New York.
Thunderbirdscame along in 1965, using marionettes rather than traditional animation.
Graham voiced Parker, the butler.
The actor voiced Grandpa Pig on the popular Nick Jr. seriesPeppa Pigbeginning in 2012.
Graham explained in a 2015 interview that voice work is just that work.
“I do act while I’m doing the voice.
I put all my energy in,“he toldThe Mirror.
“Just because it’s a cartoon or puppet doesn’t mean you don’t take it seriously.
I take it as seriously as working at the National [Theatre].”
