Biography
Richard Madden rose to global recognition through Game of Thrones, playing the tragic northern king Robb Stark across the fantasy drama's first three seasons (2011–2013). Born 18 June 1986 in Scotland, he began acting professionally at 11 and made his screen debut in 2000. Before his HBO breakthrough, Madden trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland while building a stage career, including a 2007 tour with Shakespeare's Globe as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, a role he reprised in London's West End in 2016.
Post-Thrones, he diversified across prestige projects: Prince Kit in Cinderella (2015), Cosimo de' Medici in Medici's first season (2016), and the acclaimed police officer in BBC's Bodyguard (2018), which won him a Golden Globe Award. In 2019, Time named him one of the world's 100 most influential people, the same year he appeared in Rocketman as manager John Reid and in 1917 as Lieutenant Blake. His film portfolio expanded into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ikaris in Eternals (2021), while television work continued with the action thriller Citadel (2023–present).
As an actor, Madden performs across film, television, and theatre, building range through character study and ensemble work. A Gemini born in mid-June, his career reflects the sign's trademark duality—equally commanding in gritty realism and fantastical spectacle. His life-path number 3 aligns with creative expression and adaptability, evident in his genre-spanning choices.
