Revision as of 18:26, 21 September 2013
Aimee Richardson is an actress who portrays Myrcella Baratheon in Game of Thrones. She is from Bangor, Northern Ireland.
In the pilot episode, Myrcella was a non-speaking role played by Aimee Richardson. She was not originally intended to be cast as Myrcella: no casting decision had been made yet, and she was simply a stand-in for the auditions involving other cast members, such as Cersei and Jaime. However, the TV series creators discovered that they enjoyed Richardson's strong acting ability for her age, so they decided to officially cast her as Myrcella. She initially appeared as a guest star in the first season and returned in this role for the second season.
Richardson won't be appearing in Season 3 because Myrcella has been sent to Dorne, and thus had no scenes in the third book.[1] As Richardson put it in a twitter post just after Season 3 began airing, she's "too busy getting a tan in Dorne to appear in S3."[2]
Similar to Jack Gleeson (who plays her character's older brother Joffrey), Richardson's natural speaking voice has a pronounced Irish accent, and the upper-class, Received Pronunciation accent she adopts while playing Myrcella on-screen is a conscious part of her performance. As Richardson explained, she knew from a young age that if she wanted to become a professional actress, most major roles require a Received Pronunciation accent, so she had been practicing a British-English accent well before casting began for Game of Thrones. She enjoys playing around with different accents at home with her father, and can do a Russian or American South accent reasonably well too.[3]
