- Richard Madden, born 18 June 1986, is a Scottish stage, film, and television actor best known for portraying Robb Stark in the HBO series "Game of Thrones" and Prince Kit in Disney's "Cinderella." Starring as David Budd in the BBC miniseries "Bodyguard" has also brought him more international acclaim and attention including a Golden Globe and other nominations. Despite his seemingly overnight success, Madden has been acting since he was in his teens, with only a brief break where he focused on school.
Madden was born in Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland, where he was brought up with two sisters. His mother, Pat, is a classroom assistant, and his father, Richard, is in the fire brigade.

- Grey streak
- Has a mallen streak in his hair, a small patch of white in the front of his scalp. It's a form of poliosis, a hereditary condition where a patch of hair comes out completely white as a result of a lack of pigmentation. Madden usually dyes the streak for his acting roles.
- On July 4, 2019, Richard received an Honorary Doctorate from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He is now a Doctor of Drama.
- Admits that he was quite overweight for much of his adolescence and during his time in Drama School. This changed when he got a part in a play which required him to be naked, at which point he realized that he didn't want to be fat and naked on stage.
- Joined a theatre group to help conquer his shyness.
- Richard was born in Elderslie in the West of Scotland, which is the same birthplace attributed to the legendary Scottish patriot William Wallace.
- I just think of myself as an upstart who is trying to get better at what I do.
- You act at being a man, and before you know it, you are one.
- I don't find it hard to stay humble.
- Google is the enemy. I would tell that to anyone who enjoys any TV show like 'Game of Thrones' to avoid it; it spoils so many storylines.
- I like clothes and fashion. It's a hobby for me and I really enjoy being part of it, so it's nice when people say: 'He can dress quite well.'
