Getting cast in HouseOfTheDragon was life-changing for EmmaDArcy, making them a household name overnight. In the July 2023 issue of BritishVogue they speak about their red carpet debut and their hopes for trans people and gender non-conforming people.
Even after they found a family of supportive queer friends in their twenties, they kept their personal identity and professional career strictly separate. Then HBO requested their pronouns before filming, and D’Arcy found themselves at a crossroads. “I had a really strong belief that there probably wasn’t space in the mainstream industry to be gender non-conformingan actor.
D’Arcy’s own approach to Rhaenyra is closely informed by their nonbinary identity. “The conversation that I had with [showrunners] Miguel [Sapochnik] and Ryan [Condal] really early on was about Rhaenyra’s keen awareness of how patriarchy operates,” they explain. “I thought I’d been cast, despite all of my” – they smile warmly, gesturing towards themselves – “stuff, you know? But actually, I really do believe that the ‘stuff’ was also invited.
That “stuff”, as D’Arcy puts it? I’m willing to bet it’s what keeps viewers returning, producing the kind of onscreen magic that only happens when an actor brings their full self to their work. “Being visible as a nonbinary person is the only meaning I can see in having a public profile,” D’Arcy declares.
