How Harry Lawtey Developed A Money-Hungry Mindset To Prepare For Industry

In an interview with The Knockturnal, Harry Lawtey talked about his character’s drive, comparing it with Harper Stern (Myha’la Herrold) and how he got into that ambitious mindset. “I think a lot of it in the show, especially through my character and through the character of Harper, I think the really easy access to understanding that drive is understanding where they’ve come from … they are able to see a monetary gain as a way of kind of have proving self-worth and proving that they’ve done something with their lives and that they’ve climbed their own ladder.” He concluded that “it’s kind of looking at what’s gone before in their lives to understand what drives them forward.”

His outstanding ability to channel the character’s thought process of not wanting to finish where he began and his overall aspiration for success seems to be working. It allows Robert Spearing’s motivations and character arc to be both authentic and engaging, adding significant value to a series with robust critical acclaim. The first season is “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes, and the critic’s score for the second run is very impressive. Sarah Novack from TV Fanatic said, “Industry is exciting, jaw-dropping, and irresistible,” and Rachel Cooke from New Statesman wrote, “I’m telling you, this is one of the best things on TV: superbly acted, brilliantly written, dazzlingly energetic — and… it also chimes exquisitely with our times.” The show’s portfolio seems solid, and the players involved have a winning attitude both on and off screen, making “Industry” look like a worthwhile investment for viewers.
