Emily Hampshire Facts
- She first caught the acting bug at the age of 11. One day, she wanted to attend a pool party hosted by a boy she had a crush on but her mother took her to watch Les Misérables at Place des Arts. Emily left feeling mesmerized by the characters wanting to play the role of Éponine.
- She moved to Toronto at the age of 16 to act in films and TV shows.
- She was inspired to consider acting as a vocation when her school vice-principal, Wanda Swiderski, praised her potential seeing her perform in the school drama club.
- Emily got her first credited TV role at the age of 14 and also landed a role in a movie Dead Innocent the same year although it released in 1997.
- She relocated to Los Angeles in 2006.
- It took her 3 unsuccessful attempts to get her driver’s license in California.
- She is a close friend of Canadian actor, comedian, and screenwriter, Jay Baruchel.
- Emily befriended acclaimed actor/director, Xavier Dolan, on the set of Good Neighbors (2010). She invited him to crash at her place for nearly a month in 2010 because he had nowhere else to stay.
- The actress claims to be fashion bipolar. Either she wears expensive, high-end clothing or ends up looking like a homeless person.
- Emily was down to her last 800 dollars and had not worked in over a year when her agent asked her to audition for Schitt’s Creek.
- Hampshire had not seen Game of Thrones when she got cast to play Kit Harington’s wife in The Death and Life of John F. Donovan (2019), so she had no idea about the pop culture references related to Kit’s GOT character, John Snow. However, her Bitmoji app had a Game of Thrones emoji that stated, “You know nothing,” that she would often text to Kit Harington while filming.
