Corey Mylchreest (born 8 May 1998) is an English actor. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he is known for his starring role as a fictionalized King George III in the Netflix period drama miniseries Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023).
Early life and education
Mylchreest was born on 8 May 1998 in Whipps Cross University Hospital and grew up in Leytonstone, East London. He attended Forest School, Walthamstow, and joined the National Youth Theatre. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Acting from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 2020.
Career
Upon graduating from RADA, Mylchreest was cast in open-air productions of the Shakespeare plays Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Abbey Wood. In 2022, he made his television debut in the premiere episode of the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.
Also in 2022, it was announced Mylchreest would star as a young, fictionalised version of King George III in the period drama prequel miniseries Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, which was released on Netflix in May 2023. Karama Horne of TheWrap was appreciative of the chemistry between Mylchreest and India Amarteifio (who played the title role of Queen Charlotte) and added that he "does a beautiful job wandering through the wilderness of King George’s mind without being campy".
In June 2023, Mylchreest signed with WME for representation. He made his West End debut as Edmund in Kenneth Branagh's production of King Lear at Wyndham's Theatre. He has appeared in the second installment of the Phelps twins' travel show Fantastic Friends. He has an upcoming role in the Netflix political thriller Hostage.
