Outside of her ongoing work on ‘Game of Thrones,’ Clarke has starred in numerous film roles including Louisa in Me Before You, the screen adaptation of Jojo Moyes best-selling novel of the same name, female lead Qi’ra, Han Solo’s childhood friend and romantic interest in SOLO: A Star Wars Story, Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genisys, and recently wrapped production on Paul Feig’s romantic comedy, Last Christmas alongside Harry Golding and Emma Thompson, which is set to be released by Universal in November. A woman of many talents, Clarke made her Broadway debut as Holly Golightly in the 2013 stage adaptation of Truman Capote’s classic 1958 novella “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
Nathalie Emmanuel first appeared in ‘Game of Thrones’ during season 3 and soon became a series regular. In 2015, Emmanuel played computer hacker Ramsey in Furious 7, for which she won the Screen Nation award for Best Female Performance in Film, and Harriet in Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. She made a name for herself at age 10, playing Young Nala in the West End production of the musical “The Lion King” and then made her television break in 2006 by starring as Sasha Valentine in the teen soap opera ‘Hollyoaks.’
Clarke and Emmanuel will be joining recently announced guests John Barrowman from ‘Arrow’ and ‘Doctor Who’; Erick Avari widely seen in film and television including The Mummy, Independence Day, and Stargate; Billy Zane from The Phantom and Titanic; along with cast members from Amazon’s ‘The Tick’ including Peter Serafinowicz and Griffin Newman, as well as, Gates McFadden and Michael Dorn from ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ TV series and movie franchise.
