Richard Madden was born on June 18, 1986, in Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland. He grew up with two sisters; his mother worked as a classroom assistant, and his father was in the fire brigade. Madden joined PACE Youth Theatre at age 11 to address shyness. At this age, he secured his first acting role as young Andy in the film adaptation of Iain Banks’ “Complicity,” released in 2000. He then took on the lead role of Sebastian in the children’s television series “Barmy Aunt Boomerang,” which aired from 1999 to 2000. Madden also experienced bullying during high school, which he attributed to his early acting work. He later pursued formal training at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, graduating in 2007.
Madden’s career began on stage, including work with The Arches and the Glasgow Repertory Company. In his final year of conservatory, he played Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet” at the modern Globe Theatre in London. This was followed by a tour in 2007. He further developed his stage presence with the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of “Noughts & Crosses” (2007–2008) and the National Theatre of Scotland’s “Be Near Me” (2009). His early television work included the lead role of Dean McKenzie in the 2009 BBC series “Hope Springs” and appearances in the films “Chatroom” (2010) and “Worried About the Boy” (2010).
Madden achieved widespread recognition for his role as Robb Stark in the HBO series “Game of Thrones” from 2011 to 2013. This role significantly elevated his public profile. He went on to play Prince Kit in Disney’s live-action “Cinderella” (2015), which was a commercial success. Madden continued to take on diverse roles, including Cosimo de’ Medici in the first season of “Medici” (2016) and Sergeant David Budd in the BBC thriller series “Bodyguard” (2018), for which he received critical acclaim and a Golden Globe Award. His recent work includes the Elton John biopic “Rocketman” (2019), the war film “1917” (2019), the Marvel Cinematic Universe film “Eternals” (2021), and the action thriller series “Citadel” (2023–present).
