Kate Dickie (born 1971)[a] is a Scottish actress who has appeared in television series, stage plays and films. She is known for her television roles as Lex in the BBC series Tinsel Town (2000–2001) and Lysa Arryn in the HBO series Game of Thrones (2011, 2014).
Key Information
Dickie is also known for her portrayal of the security operative Jackie in her 2006 feature-film debut Red Road, directed by Andrea Arnold, for which she won several awards, including Best Actress at the British Academy Scotland Awards and the British Independent Film Award for Best Actress. She again won Best Actress at the 2016 British Academy Scotland Awards for the film Couple in a Hole. Her other film appearances include Prometheus (2012), Filth (2013), The Witch (2015), and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017).
Early life
[edit]Dickie was born in East Kilbride, Scotland. She spent part of her childhood in different parts of Scotland, Wigtownshire, Galloway, Perthshire and Ayrshire, due to frequent moves by her family. From an early age she discovered her passion for acting, which her parents supported. Coming from a working-class family (her father was a farmer and gardener) in which no family member had been in the arts before, she was embarrassed to call herself an actress since she was afraid to be called pretentious.[3]
Her desire for drama classes supported her to overcome her insecurities that appeared through the frequent school changes and helped her dealing with adjusting to new people and surroundings. After leaving school she went to college in Kirkcaldy to study for a national certificate in drama. In 1990, she won a place at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and decided to stay in Glasgow.[3]
Career
[edit]
Dickie started to work in theatre. She achieved her breakthrough in 2000, in the BBC Scotland / Raindog series Tinsel Town.[3]
Through Dickie's performance in her film debut Red Road with her former drama school mate and co-star Tony Curran, she gained more recognition as a serious actress.[4][5][6][7]
In the stage play Aalst, based on the true story of a couple who had killed their children and were sentenced in a high-profile trial, Dickie plays one of the parents. Her motivation to perform this role was her feeling of "responsibility to play people like that and to give them a voice. People that are not necessarily good or nice and have good lives."[3]
She reprised the role of Jackie in Donkeys, a follow-up to Red Road which is directed by Morag McKinnon. She portrayed Mary in the United Kingdom supernatural thriller film Outcast.[8] Dickie was a swimming trainer in the 2010 television film Dive.[citation needed] She appears in the HBO television series Game of Thrones, where she plays the role of Lysa Arryn.[9] In 2018, Dickie appeared in a season 5 episode of Shetland. In 2020, she appeared with Emma Stansfield in the music video for Sleaford Mods' previously unreleased song "Second".[10]

Early life and education
Upbringing
Kate Dickie was born on 4 July 1971 in East Kilbride, Scotland.[2][4] Raised in a working-class family, Dickie was the youngest of four children, with her father employed initially as a dairy farmer and later as a professional gardener on large estates, while her mother took on various roles such as cook and housekeeper.[3][5] These jobs necessitated frequent relocations across rural Scotland, including stints in Wigtownshire in Galloway, Perthshire, and Ayrshire, before the family settled in Ayr when Dickie was nine years old.[3][2] The constant upheaval meant she often arrived as the "new girl" at school, fostering a sense of displacement in these remote, far-flung areas.[5][2] Dickie's childhood was marked by shyness and self-consciousness about her appearance, exacerbated by the instability of repeated school changes in these rural settings.[2] However, involvement in school drama activities provided a vital outlet, helping her overcome these personal insecurities and build confidence through creative expression.[2][6] Living in gardeners' cottages on estates, she embraced a free-roaming lifestyle, swimming in rivers and exploring the countryside, which immersed her in imaginative, nature-inspired play that sparked an early affinity for the performing arts.[3] This formative period in Scotland's rural landscapes not only shaped her resilience but also ignited her passion for acting, laying the groundwork for her future pursuits.[3][5]Education and training
Dickie began her formal drama education after high school by enrolling at Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy, Fife, where she pursued a national certificate in drama.[6] This initial training laid the groundwork for her professional development, focusing on foundational acting skills and performance basics. In 1990, motivated by her passion for theatre nurtured in a working-class family environment, she secured a place at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD, now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) in Glasgow.[7] There, she studied the BA in Dramatic Studies, a program that emphasized rigorous training in acting methodologies, voice, movement, and character interpretation.[8] Dickie's time at RSAMD proved formative, offering her first true sense of belonging within a community of aspiring performers and reinforcing the realism of her career ambitions.[8] Encouraged by supportive tutors during her audition process, she honed essential techniques through intensive workshops and rehearsals.[8] The curriculum also provided early stage opportunities via student-led productions, allowing her to apply learned skills in live performances and build confidence in front of audiences.[8] She graduated in 1993, equipped with the professional foundation that propelled her into theatre and beyond.[8]Professional career
Early roles and breakthrough
After completing her training at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in the early 1990s, Kate Dickie launched her professional career in theatre, taking on minor roles in Scottish productions during the late 1990s. She performed at Glasgow's Arches Theatre in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice in 1995 and Mayakovsky's Blood and Water in 1996, showcasing her emerging stage presence in experimental and classical works.[9] Additional theatre credits included collaborations with Suspect Culture, such as Timeless and Mainstream in the late 1990s, which allowed her to hone her skills in contemporary Scottish drama amid a competitive local scene.[9][10] Dickie's initial forays into television were similarly modest, beginning with a small role as a young girl in the 1994 episode "Mother" of the BBC Scotland comedy series Rab C. Nesbitt.[11] She continued with guest appearances in other Scottish TV staples, including two episodes of the long-running crime drama Taggart—notably as the troubled Debbie Thompson in the 2003 installment "Penthouse and Pavement."[12] These early screen parts often cast her in stereotypical roles like sex workers, reflecting the narrow opportunities available to emerging Scottish actresses around the turn of the millennium; Dickie has described struggling for years to secure an agent after drama school, navigating a landscape where bold, complex characters were scarce for women from her background.[13][10] By the early 2000s, she supplemented these with appearances in independent short films, such as the supporting role of a prostitute in the Glasgow-set Room for the Night (2003), which underscored her commitment to gritty, local storytelling.[14] Her breakthrough arrived with the lead role of Lex, a charismatic and bisexual nightclub DJ, in the BBC Scotland drama series Tinsel Town (2000–2001), co-produced by Raindog and Deep Indigo Productions.[2] Set amid Glasgow's vibrant yet seedy club culture, the series featured Dickie alongside co-stars Dawn Steele and Abha Creed in a narrative exploring friendship, sexuality, and urban nightlife; it was praised for its unapologetic portrayal of working-class Scottish life and marked Dickie's first major television lead.[15] The performance earned her a nomination for Best Television Performance at the 2000 BAFTA Scotland Awards, signaling her transition from fringe roles to wider recognition within the industry.[16]Key film and television work
Kate Dickie's breakthrough in film came with the lead role of Jackie Morrison, a grieving CCTV operator in Glasgow, in Andrea Arnold's directorial debut Red Road (2006), a thriller that earned her the BAFTA Scotland Award for Best Actress in a Scottish Film and significantly elevated her profile as an actress capable of portraying complex, emotionally raw women.[7] The film's Cannes Jury Prize win further highlighted her performance, marking a pivotal shift toward more prominent screen roles after her early television work, including the breakthrough series Tinsel Town (2000).[3] Her international visibility surged with the recurring role of Lysa Arryn, the unstable Lady Regent of the Vale, in HBO's Game of Thrones (2011, 2014), where she portrayed a character consumed by jealousy and paranoia, appearing in key episodes across seasons 1 and 4.[17] This high-profile fantasy series introduced her to a global audience, contrasting her earlier indie work and opening doors to larger Hollywood productions.[18] In Ridley Scott's sci-fi prequel Prometheus (2012), Dickie played Ford, the pragmatic medical officer aboard the expedition ship, a supporting role that underscored her versatility in genre cinema amid a star-studded cast including Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender.[3] She continued exploring psychological depth in independent films, notably as Katherine, the fiercely devout Puritan mother in Robert Eggers' The Witch (2015), where her character's unraveling faith and maternal grief amid accusations of witchcraft examined themes of religious repression and familial disintegration in 17th-century New England.[19] That same year, in Tom Geens' Couple in a Hole, she embodied Karen, a bereaved woman retreating to feral isolation in the French woods with her husband after their son's death, a performance that delved into raw themes of profound loss, survival instincts, and the animalistic undercurrents of human sorrow.[20] Dickie's television presence strengthened in the 2020s with her portrayal of DCI Diane Oban, the no-nonsense head of the Marine Homicide Unit, in the BBC/PBS series Annika (2021–2023), a role that showcased her authoritative edge in procedural drama alongside lead Nicola Walker.[21] She followed this with Alison Stoke, the resourceful wife of a government official and covert informant, in the Sky/Peacock miniseries The Day of the Jackal (2024), contributing to its tense espionage narrative centered on an assassin's pursuit.[22] As of 2025, Dickie maintains her momentum in genre and drama with roles in the thriller Damaged (2024), opposite Samantha Morton; the time-loop comedy Timestalker (2024); the Netflix adaptation Dept. Q (2025), a crime series based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels, where she joins an ensemble tackling cold cases in Copenhagen; and the supernatural horror film Honey Bunch (2025), in which she plays Farah.[23] These projects affirm her ongoing prominence in both intimate character studies and high-stakes productions.Theatre and other media
Kate Dickie began her professional theatre career in the mid-1990s with performances at Glasgow's Arches Theatre, including roles in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (1995) and Mayakovsky's Blood and Water (1996).[9] She established herself in the Scottish theatre scene through collaborations with prominent institutions, becoming an Associate Artist at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh.[24] Her work often explores intense, character-driven narratives within contemporary Scottish drama, contributing to productions that highlight social and psychological themes. A pivotal role came in 2007 with the National Theatre of Scotland's production of Aalst by Pol Andersesen and Gille Decuyper, adapted by Duncan McLean, where Dickie portrayed Cathy Delaney opposite David McKay at the Traverse Theatre.[25] The play, inspired by a real-life Belgian tragedy, toured the UK and earned critical acclaim for Dickie's raw performance as a mother facing interrogation over her children's deaths.[26] This production underscored her affinity for stark, unflinching theatre rooted in Scottish and European influences. Dickie's international stage presence expanded with the 2014 revival of Thornton Wilder's Our Town, directed by David Cromer at London's Almeida Theatre, in which she played Mrs. Webb.[27] The production reimagined the American classic with a British ensemble, emphasizing communal memory and everyday life, and transferred to the West End.[28] Her involvement in such revivals reflects a broader engagement with both Scottish ensembles like the National Theatre of Scotland and London-based venues, bridging regional and global theatrical traditions. Beyond live stage work, Dickie has ventured into voice acting and interactive media. In 2020, she voiced Nathalie Kensington, a key corporate figure, in the FMV video game The Complex, developed by Wales Interactive, where player choices influence narrative outcomes in a bioterrorism thriller.[29] This role marked her entry into gaming, leveraging her vocal intensity for branching dialogue trees. In recent years, Dickie has appeared in short films that align with her interest in concise, impactful storytelling. She starred in In the Room (2024), directed by Paul Barrie, a drama about an actress confronting past trauma during an audition.[30] Similarly, in Nettle Day (2024), a folk horror short by Jack Nicholls produced with the British Film Institute's Film Hub North, she portrayed a central figure in a tale of idealism clashing with rural menace.[31] These projects highlight her versatility in experimental, non-feature formats. In December 2024, Dickie was appointed as a Patron of the Junior Conservatoire of Drama, Production and Film at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, her alma mater, where she will mentor emerging talent in acting and related disciplines.[8] This role builds on her theatre legacy by fostering the next generation of Scottish performers.Filmography
