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.
