Emily Joyce
Emily Joyce is a television actress in Britain. She co-starred in the British comedy series My Hero, playing the character of Janet Dawkins, the wife of the superhero Thermoman (played by Ardal O'Hanlon), whose assigned earth name is George Sunday, (at least they married in a late second-season episode).
Having a long-lived childhood love of acting (due to her mother taking her to theatres regularly), Joyce decided to join the National Youth Theatre at the age of fifteen. She worked for Vogue magazine for sustenance during this period of learning the skills of her future career, preparing for drama school. She formed the musical band "In Spite of All That" at the age of seventeen, playing the part of its lead singer. Including the time in drama school, Joyce spent three years as a part of this band. After drama school, she joined the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her first television role being in the ITV drama Cracker, she played the murderess in the final episode of the series. She starred in another ITV drama series, Grafters, in 1999.
More recent television appearances include featuring in the last episode of the fourth season of the BBC mysterious crime series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, playing the part of DC Havers' new (and presentably crazy) boss.
