Early life

[edit]

Clarke was born on 23 October 1986 in London.^[1]^[2] She grew up in Oxfordshire.^[3] Her father, Peter Roderick "Rick" Clarke, was a theatre sound engineer from Wolverhampton.^[4]^[5] Her mother, Jennifer Susan "Jenny" Dodd Clarke, MBE, was a businesswoman and is the vice-president for marketing at a global management consultancy firm as of 2020^[update] and the director of The Anima Foundation, a charity aimed at helping young people in Ghana. She has an older brother, Bennett, who works in the entertainment industry and was part of the camera department for Game of Thrones.^[6]^[7]

Clarke became interested in acting at age three after seeing a production of the musical Show Boat.^[8] When she was ten, her father took her to a West End audition for The Goodbye Girl, a musical by Neil Simon.^[1]

Clarke was privately educated at both Rye St Antony School in Headington and St Edward's School, Oxford, which she left in 2005.^[9] In a 2016 interview with Time Out, she stated "I went to posh boarding schools, but I wasn't the posh girl at the posh boarding schools."^[10] She also stated that most of the people at her boarding school in Oxford were from Conservative backgrounds, which meant she and some of her friends often felt like outsiders.^[11]

After graduation, Clarke unsuccessfully applied to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She worked and travelled before enrolling at Drama Centre London, where she graduated in 2009.^[12]^[13]

Career

[edit]

2000–2010: Beginnings

[edit]

Clarke started to act in stage productions while attending school. She appeared in student productions of Twelfth Night and West Side Story while attending St Edward's School.^[14] After taking a sabbatical year, she was accepted into Drama Centre London.^[1] Clarke also appeared the 2009 production of Sense, co-produced by theatre company Company of Angels and Drama Centre London.^[15]

One of her first film roles was in Drop the Dog, a University of London student short film.^[16] She graduated from drama school in 2009.^[17] She worked at various non-acting jobs after graduating while auditioning for roles.^[18] She starred in two commercials for the charity Samaritans, portraying a domestic abuse victim.^[19] Her first credited television role was a bit part in a 2009 episode of the British soap opera Doctors.^[20] Clarke was cast in her first professional film role, playing Savannah in the 2010 television film Triassic Attack.^[21] The film was released in November 2010 on the Syfy channel in the United States where it received negative reviews.^[22] Despite the film's reviews, she was named a "UK Star of Tomorrow" by the film magazine Screen International.^[23]

2011–2019: Game of Thrones and worldwide recognition

[edit]

Clarke was cast in her third professional role in 2010, as Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones. It is based on the fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.^[12] Daenerys is one of the last surviving members of House Targaryen who had ruled Westeros from the Iron Throne for nearly three hundred years prior to being ousted.^[24] Actress Tamzin Merchant was originally cast for the part of Daenerys.^[25] When the pilot episode was re-shot in early 2010, Merchant was replaced by Clarke.^[26]^[27] The show ran from April 2011 until May 2019, with Clarke portraying Daenerys throughout all eight seasons.^[28]

Clarke received critical acclaim for her portrayal of Daenerys, which traces an arc from frightened girl to powerful woman.^[29] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe called her scenes "mesmerising", adding that "Clarke doesn't have a lot of emotional variety to work with as Daenerys, aside from fierce determination, and yet she is riveting."^[30] Emily VanDerWerff for The A.V. Club commented on the difficulty of adapting such an evolution from page to screen, but concluded that Clarke "more than seal[s] the deal here."^[31]

Clarke said by being cast as Daenerys, she had avoided the "typical bonnet duty that you have to go through as a young British actress".^[32] In 2017, she reportedly became one of the highest-paid actors on television, earning between £1.2 and £2 million per episode of Game of Thrones.^[a] In 2019, she said she had been uncomfortable acting nude in her first experience at age 23 of a large film set, but had since become "a lot more savvy" about what level of nudity is needed for a scene.^[35] Clarke received multiple award nominations and wins for her role of Daenerys. She was nominated three times for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2013, 2015, and 2016.^[36] At the 2019 Emmys, she was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, her first nomination in the category.^[37]

In addition to the television show, she lent her voice and likeness to the 2014 video game of the same name.^[38] She also made a cameo appearance during Kit Harington's monologue on Saturday Night Live in April 2019.^[39] She said in a November 2019 NPR interview that if she "were to get stereotyped as the mother of dragons, I could ask for worse. It's really quite wonderful."^[40] In a 2021 interview with theSkimm, Clarke stated that she would change the way her character died.^[41]
