Actress Emily Joyce

Emily Joyce is a British actress best known for her role as Janet Dawkins, the wife of a superhero named Thermoman in the BBC series "My Hero."  Thermoman, who poses as a health store shopkeeper before morphing into a doctor, has the ability to heat and freeze objects and has super-human strength.

Oh yeah, "My Hero" - which ran from 2000 to 2006 - was not a sci-fi series.  It was a sitcom.  Really! 


Janet met Thermoman when he saved her life at the Grand Canyon. 

Emily Joyce has appeared in numerous British TV series, including the children's series "My Almost Famous Family, about an extended family of musicians who perform as a band for a talk show - sort of like "The Partridge Family Meets Johnny Carson."  Ms. Joyce played the mother of the (female) talk show host.  It aired in the fall of 2009.

One might say that Emily Joyce is almost famous, as she usually plays one-shot characters.  But she certainly is a success.
