LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Stephen Graham and Malachi Kirby say their new show, A Thousand Blows, premiering with all episodes Friday on Hulu, offered physical and linguistic challenges. Kirby, 35, stars as Hezekiah Moscow, a Jamaican immigrant to London in the 1880s who develops a talent for boxing.
Graham, 51, plays Sugar Goodson, the boxing champion who wants a rematch with Hezekiah after their first bout. In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, Graham said creator Steven Knight's writing required more than just an East End accent to do it justice.
