A rising star in the acting world, known for her breakout role as Alicent Hightower in the HBO fantasy series House of the Dragon, a spin-off of Game of Thrones.
At just 19 years old, Emily Carey has already made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, taking on iconic roles as young versions of characters like Diana Prince in Wonder Woman and Lara Croft in Tomb Raider.
But her impressive career didn't start with these blockbuster films. Emily's passion for acting began at a young age, and she quickly gained recognition for her talents on stage and screen.
Born on April 30, 2003, in the London Borough of Barnet, Emily was surrounded by the theatre industry from a young age. Her family's involvement in the business sparked her interest, and by the time she was three, she was helping her grandmother, a former West End wardrobe mistress, pair socks backstage.
Her natural talent and enthusiasm didn't go unnoticed, and she was scouted by an agent at just eight years old. This led to her joining Michael Xavier's MX Masterclass, where she honed her acting skills and eventually became a patron.
Emily's professional career took off in 2013, when she landed a role in the West End production of Shrek The Musical at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. She then went on to play Marta von Trapp in the Olivier Award-nominated The Sound of Music at Regents Park Open Air Theatre.
In 2014, she joined the cast of BBC One's soap opera Casualty as Grace Beauchamp, a role she played until 2017 and reprised in 2021. She also appeared in the video for Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé's cover of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and played Mary Conan Doyle in the ITV drama Houdini & Doyle.
In 2017, Emily made her feature film debut as young Diana Prince in the DC Universe film Wonder Woman, followed by a role as young Lara Croft in the 2018 Tomb Raider reboot film.
In 2020, she played Mika Cavanaugh in the BBC iPlayer teen series Get Even, which was distributed internationally on Netflix, as well as the titular Anastasia in the film Anastasia: Once Upon a Time, also on Netflix.
Emily's latest role as young Alicent Hightower in the HBO fantasy series House of the Dragon has garnered her even more attention and praise. With her talent and versatility, it's no wonder she was listed as one of the top five child stars of 2016 by the Huffington Post.
As she continues to take on new and exciting projects, Emily Carey is certainly a name to watch in the entertainment industry.
