ACTING

martine-richards-arm-raised-in-black-outfit

Based near London Gatwick, I work internationally as a TV, film and commercial actress. Most recently as 'Claudette' in Return To Silent Hill alongside Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson, which screened in global cinemas in early 2026 and is available to watch at home via digital platforms. 


Best known for my debut television appearance in two episodes of the multi-award-winning TV mini-drama, Dancing on the Edge, with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthew Goode and Wunmi Mosaku.  

I also play roles in an upcoming gritty indie drama feature film and short sci-fi film, as well as characters in several video games.

With qualifications in Drama up to degree standard, the foundations of my training lies in stage. In 2005, I went on to specialise in repertory theatre, which sparked a love for performing "classics" in national and open-air theatres across the UK in roles such as Richard II (Richard II), Ariel (The Tempest) and Harriet (The Man of Mode)

Later, I completed The MoCap Vault's curriculum in Motion Capture bringing me back to my 'physical (theatre)' roots while broadening my skills in creature and environment work. You can watch me in action at Centroid via my Gaming/MoCap page

Inclusivity in the film and voiceover industries  

I am a member of the performing arts and entertainment trade union, Equity; Women in Film & Television (UK); Audio Publishers Association and She Squad: Yes She Cannes. 

 

As a neurodivergent female (she/her) actor in my late-forties with lived experience with autism and ADHD, I am especially passionate about helping advocate for safe and inclusive spaces, equality for women (particularly in leadership), and good mental health practices across the arts and entertainment industry.

I am also proud to have been part of the cast of You Will Get Better,  a Stonewall UK public announcement / short film, in which I played the Therapist; which scooped up two British Arrow Awards (2024) and AICP Award nomination (2023).

 

I continue to educate myself and learn best practices in DEIA; speak with casting and production teams on ways to make casting more inclusive for disabled performers; and am a certified Mental Health First Aider.

I prioritise safety on set and in studios; and help to champion, support and empower my peers and colleagues. ​

Martine's fearlessness, resourcefulness and understanding of character and nuance are all elements that have seen me dying to work with her again. Something that can't come round soon enough!
