Bio

Emma Rigby is an English actress best known for her television roles as Hannah Ashworth in Hollyoaks (2005-2010) and as Gemma in the first season of Prisoners' Wives, in 2012.

She also has a starring role as The Red Queen, a sorceress in her own right who seems to covet one thing above all — power — in the fantasy drama television series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.

Rigby appeared in Shana Feste's Endless Love, a Romeo and Juliet-themed story that centers on the forbidden love between two teenagers from opposite backgrounds. A remake of the 1981 romantic drama based on the novel by Scott Spenser, Rigby co-stars alongside Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde.

She also has a cameo role in Ridley Scott's thriller The Counselor. The film features Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz and Javier Bardem.

Prior to this she shot Plastic, an independent film is based on the true story, directed and co-written by Julian Gilbey and featuring Ed Speelers, Will Poulter, Sebastian De Souza and Alfie Allen.

In addition, Rigby stars in Philipp Stölzl's The Physician, a German drama set in the 11th century about a gifted English boy who leaves England to practice his craft under a Persian physician. It features Stellan Skarsgard, Ben Kingsley and Tom Payne, and is adapted from Noah Gordon's bestselling book of the same name.

Television credits include an acclaimed performance in Ripper Street, a leading role in the highly successful Prisoners Wives for the BBC, and Hollyoaks as Hannah Ashworth, a nuanced portrayal which earned her critical praise and paved her way to the big screen.
