Currie Graham fell into acting while attending high school. As a basketball player, he signed up for drama, thinking it was a way to snooze before big basketball games. Instead he was forced to participate in a play, and once he hit the stage, he knew acting was his destiny. He later attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York to hone his new found talent.

Episodic work includes: 24, Monk, CSI, The Practice and Judging Amy. He also played a criminal busted by Jimmy Smits in an NYPD Blue episode in 1997 which is odd only because he came to be the head of the squad in the last season of the series.
