MORE ON OUR GUEST
Graham Kent (@truegrahamkent) is a Toronto-based writer, creator, and (checks vitals) human being. Having branched from acting into writing, his on-screen work spans television, commercials, short and feature films, development on scripted projects, and VOD content for Bell Media. An alumnus of Humber College’s school of Comedy Writing and Performance, Graham sometimes makes with the ha-ha, focusing mainly on comedies and dramas.
Graham was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at the age of 8, which taught him to look beneath the surface differences that divide us and seek the similarities that make us all human beings; a theme common within his original works. He believes we have more in common than in contrast, that we do better in cooperation than competition, and he swears for normal reasons.
In 2022, Graham was one of 19 people chosen to take part as a Fellow in the virtual cohort of the RespectAbility Entertainment Lab. Graham is a proud member of both the WGC and IATSE 411.
