Harry Lawtey Opens Up About ‘Industry’ Departure: “I’ve Said Everything I Had to Say”
Harry Lawtey opened up about his reasoning for leaving behind his character, 'Industry's Robert Spearing, and why it was a mutual decision.
The actor opened up about the decision to depart from the slow-burning hit HBO/BBC co-production in a recent interview with the U.K.’s The Telegraph, saying that it was a thematic choice as much as it was a practical one due to scheduling issues, as previously reported by Deadline.

Lawtey, who has since appeared in Joker: Folie à Deux, broke out with Industry as the naive yet cocky finance grad struggling to cope with the stressors of the fictitious Pierpoint, getting further enmeshed in substance use and tangled trysts.
