Early life and career

Rickards was born and raised in British Columbia. Her mother is Dr. Diane Greig, a dream psychotherapist in Vancouver.[2][3][4]

Beginning on her career path at a young age, she introduced herself to musical theatre and dance, with the hope of later introducing herself to more serious acting.

After completing the program, she attended an open call audition, which gained her an agent.[5] She studied at the Alida Vocal Studio in Vancouver.[6] Rickards made her first professional appearance in 2009, starring in the video for the Nickelback single "Never Gonna Be Alone".[7]

Career

Arrowverse

Rickards breakthrough role came in 2012 with her first television casting, as Felicity Smoak in the CW television series Arrow, which is based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow.[8] Originally signed as a one-episode guest star,[9] positive reaction from her co-star, show-lead Stephen Amell,[10] and from Warner Brothers executive Peter Roth[11][12] as well as a positive response from journalists at preview screenings,[13] led to her being signed on as a recurring star for the rest of show's first season. The success of the character, coupled with positive fan response, saw her signed as a series regular from the second season onwards.[9][14][15] Speaking in 2013 about that decision, Arrow Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim stated "we were very lucky that we cast Emily Rickards, who just lit up the screen."[16] In March 2019, Rickards announced that she would be leaving Arrow at the end of the show's seventh season.[17]

Rickards at PaleyFest in 2015

Throughout the series run, Rickards received praise for her performance in the role, often described as the show's 'fan favorite'[18][19][20][21][22][23] or 'breakout'[24][25][26][27] character, with many critics describing the character, and Rickards, as an integral part of the show's success.[24][28][29][30] Notably her delivery of the monologue in the season six episode "We Fall" won her particular praise.[31][32][33][34][35][36] Rickards was nominated for multiple Teen Choice and Leo Awards for the role, and in 2016, her portrayal of the character was placed at number 15 in a list of 50 Favourite Female Characters, in a poll of Hollywood professionals conducted by The Hollywood Reporter.[37]

Rickards also portrayed the character in the spin-off shows to the series (collectively known as the Arrowverse) The Flash,[38] Legends of Tomorrow[39] and Supergirl,[40] as well as providing the voice for the character on animated show Vixen.[41] In 2013, she portrayed Felicity in web-based promotional tie-in series Blood Rush, sponsored by Bose, which also featured the characters of Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) and Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne).[42]

Film work

In early 2012 Rickards filmed a minor role in the film Random Acts of Romance, starring Amanda Tapping[43] and in May filmed a minor role in Flicka: Country Pride, which starred her future Arrow castmate Kacey Rohl.[44] In November she was cast in the Lifetime television movie Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story,[45] which was filmed in early 2013. A fictionalized account of the murder and attempted murder of Peter and Joan Porco, respectively, Rickards played the role of Lauren Philips, a fictionalized love-interest of the killer, Chris Porco.

In March 2014, Rickards was cast in the sequel to Cowgirls 'n Angels, entitled Cowgirls 'n Angels: Dakota's Summer, as Kristen Rose, the sister of the film's protagonist, Dakota, portrayed by Haley Ramm. The film premiered at the 2014 Dallas International Film Festival.[46]

2015 saw Rickards in a supporting role in the Oscar nominated film Brooklyn.[47] Rickards auditioned for the role with director John Crowley via a Skype call from her agents office. Her scenes were filmed in Montreal, and speaking about the filming experience she noted "Everyone was so artistic and so meticulous about being respectful of the era and the story, that I’m not surprised with the turnout of how beautiful and well crafted the film is".[48]

Rickards was cast in the movie Slumber in 2016, alongside Darby Stanchfield and Meaghan Rath. Filming took place in Los Angeles in May 2016.[49] In the same year she was cast in Aisha Tyler's feature film directorial debut, Axis.[50] The film premiered at the 2017 Sarasota Film Festival and went on win the prize for Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking (Feature Film) at the 2017 Newport Beach Film Festival.[51][52] 2016 also saw Rickards co-starring, alongside Josh Dallas and Tom Cavanagh in the super-hero themed short film Sidekick, directed by Arrowverse alum Jeff Cassidy.[53] Cassidy was keen for Rickards to take the role of Emma/The Princess, but was initially concerned she looked too young for the role of "rundown, blue collar, life’s been beaten out of her, mother". However, following consultation with make-up artist Tina Teoli, he was convinced that they could age her appropriately for the role.[54]

In 2017 she starred alongside Jana Winternitz and Matthew Glave in the Michael Gallagher directed comedy film Funny Story.[55] filmed over fifteen days[56] in Los Angeles, and on location at Topanga Canyon and Big Sur.[57] The film premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival in January 2018,[58] where it was runner-up in the festival's 'Beyond' programme.[59] Speaking about casting the role, director Gallagher stated: "We needed an actress who could speak volumes without saying a word. The kind of actor whose heart shines through their eyes. Emily Bett Rickards has these qualities."[60] Rickards performance as Kim received particular praise from festival critics[61] described as "impressively toe(ing) the line between blustery self-regard and the vulnerability it hides",[62] "exploring a broad spectrum of emotions" and being able to "hone in on the inherent conflict within Kimberly".[63] The film went on to win the Stolman Audience Award for Best American Indie at the 2018 Sonoma International Film Festival[64] and in the same year won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Vero Beach Wine and Film Festival,[65] Best Feature Film at the Santorini Film Festival[66] and the Grand Jury prize at the Barcelona Film Festival.[67] The film premiered in the UK in October 2018, at the Southampton International Film Festival, where Rickards was nominated in the Leading Actress in A Feature category.[68] The film premiered on a limited theatrical release on May 24, 2019 and became available for digital downward from the same date.[69]
