 Nathalie Joanne Emmanuel(born 2 March 1989) is an English actress. Emmanuel started her career in acting appearing in the theatre in the latter part of 1990 when she began to be cast in different West End productions such as the musical The Lion King. In 2006, she started her on-screen career by starring as Sasha Valentine in soap opera Hollyoaks following which she appeared in various British television shows up to her debut film appearance in Twenty8k.Emmanuel was recognized internationally for her character Missandei in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones (2013-2019) as well as continuing her career with supporting roles in Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) and its sequel Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) and the Fast & Furious films Furious 7 (2015), The Fate of the Furious (2017) and F9 (2021) and she was in Army of Thieves (2021).Emmanuel was born on the 2nd of March, 1989 in Southend-on-Sea in Essex, England. Her mother is Dominican. Her father is half Saint Lucian as well as half English. There is an older sibling. Emmanuel remembered her mother's first note of her love for acting and the desire to become an actress when she was in school at St Hilda's School. This school shut down in 2014 and was replaced by Westcliff High School. In an interview with New York Daily News, she explained, "When my mom was three, she always caused drama, so she suggested that I channel that in a proper way, and so I began learning to act, sing, and dance classes." At 10 years old, she played Young Nala, West End's version of The Lion King. Then she was chosen to play Missandei in HBO's fantasy series Game of Thrones. She admitted to Jimmy Kimmel that she heard about her being chosen for the role while she was working as a shop assistant at a clothes store. Emmanuel was appointed a regular cast member in 2015 after she was awarded the part. Missandei was the only major character that was a woman of color in the show. And her funeral scene, which took place during her time in chains was not well-liked by fans because it was seen as an example of fridging and invoking the image of slavery.Emmanuel then told The Guardian: The reaction to Missandei's death was so big because she was the only one. I'm sure a lot of those who felt othered or disenfranchised were influenced by her or felt that they were represented by her particularly women of colour. Many were hurt when she died, and it was tragic in the way it happened. That's how they are going to pay tribute to the one woman in their race.
