Henry Ashton is relatively new to the industry, having only been in three television productions as of June this year. However, he has shown great talent in front of the camera, especially in “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder“.
The actor has been chosen to play Max Hastings for the six episodes that make up the first season of the Netflix adaptation, which is the brainchild of Poppy Cogan and is based on the novel written by Holly Jackson.
His character is part of a circle of people involved in the central mystery of the case that Pippa Fitz-Amobi is investigating. Therefore, he has a lot of interaction with the main star, Emma Myers (Wednesday and Minecraft: The Movie).
Who is Henry Ashton?
Henry Ashton has demonstrated quite a versatile talent in front of the camera, and although he is known for his role as a Lord in the first season of “My Lady Jane”, he comes from the Outlander school, so his skills make sense.
The star who brings Stan Dudley to life in the Amazon adaptation is no stranger to period series, quite the opposite, as he previously appeared in Outlander as Sandy Hammond in two episodes.
The star graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2022 and has even been awarded “The James Bridie Gold Medal” for the best performance in the BA Acting program.

Members of the art school often participate in various productions, and some of his roles have been Tommy in Parliament Square, the title role in Macbeth, Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman and Prokhor in Vassa.
In addition to pursuing his dream of being an actor, he has also shown his passion for music, as he has managed to perform on some stages and has shared his experience on social media, where he was also seen playing the guitar.
Henry Ashton’s love life
We regret to inform fans of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder that Henry Ashton is not single; quite the opposite. The actor is dating model and singer Emily-Rose Best, who accompanied him to the series premiere of My Lady Jane.
They have shared multiple photos together of various moments on their social media accounts (@ohhenryashton and @emilyrosebest_), where they can be seen being very affectionate and traveling all over the world.
