Famous Roles You Forgot the Adolescence Cast Played (5 of 6)

Stanley has built a strong career in British drama, with roles in Happy Valley, Trigger Point, The Reckoning, Anne Boleyn, and A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story. He also appeared in a minor role in Game of Thrones as Grenn, one of Jon Snow’s Night’s Watch brothers.

Jo Hartley as Mrs. Fenumore

Jo Hartley plays Mrs. Fenumore, the schoolteacher who guides the police through the school. She’s also one of Stephen Graham’s favorites, having played Shaun’s mum, Cynthia, in This Is England. Hartley has also appeared in Eddie the Eagle, After Life, Passenger, and Dead Man’s Shoes. She has a knack for making even unremarkable roles feel memorable, and in Adolescence, she helps make the school setting feel painfully real.

Hannah Walters as Mrs. Bailey

Hannah Walters plays Mrs. Bailey, another teacher in the series, and she also served as an executive producer. Walters and Graham have been married since 2008 and have worked together many times, including on Boiling Point, Time, A Thousand Blows, and, eventually, Adolescence. She’s not just Stephen Graham’s wife, though. She’s an actor and producer with a sharp eye for grounded, working-class stories.
