Emily Joyce is the youngest of three sisters, all of whom are in the
entertainment business in the UK. Their mother loved the theater, took
the three girls to shows constantly, and Emily auditioned for, and was
accepted into, the National Youth Theatre when she was 15.
After working at British Vogue, she went to drama school, while singing
lead in a rock band called "In Spite of All That." Eventually she
decided to focus on acting, and left her singing career behind.
After drama school Joyce performed for a season with the Royal
Shakespeare Company and had a guest role, as a murderer, in the ITV
drama
Cracker (1993). Since then she has worked in English television, and has
played the female lead in
My Hero (2000) since 2000.
