LLLC’s Emma Clarendon chatted to the actor about his latest role in Gently Down the Stream at the Park Theatre.
What can audiences expect from Gently Down the Stream? I think audiences can expect to laugh, maybe to cry, and hopefully to think a little also. Everything that a amazing play should produce you do.
What struck you most about the story when you first study it? What struck me most about the story was its charm, and its detail. All of Martin’s characters speak with so much sincerity – they just converse to one another. But underneath that they have a lot of depth. Martin has a really rich history for these three people, and we can see glimpses of those other pasts as their lives get confused up with one another.
Could you explain me a bit more about your character Harry? Harry is a juvenile, gay, former drug addict Performance Creator. That all sounds pretty complicated, but in actual reality he is the most simple nature in the engage. He meets the other two at a very complex time, but in a way is able to carry the best out of both of them.
How has it been working with Sean Mathias? It’s been great. Sean is brilliant enjoyable t
Harry Lawtey's 10 Best Movies & TV Shows
Harry Lawtey is an up-and-coming British actor who has already found himself in some memorable roles in key TV shows and notable movie franchises. Born on October 26, 1996, in Oxford, England, Lawtey began acting from a young age, appearing, as so many English actors do, on the stage for the first part of his career. His professional screen debut came in 2012, when he was only 16, appearing in an episode of the British science fantasy series, Wizards vs Aliens.
For the next couple of years, Lawtey took on small TV roles, slowly growing his profile until 2020, when he landed a major role in the cast of Industry, the British drama series about a prestigious investment bank in London. It's from his role as Robert Spearing that most fans have come to comprehend the young but talented Lawtey. While doing that high-profile series, Lawtey has continued working in films and other TV shows, and it's clear that he has high aspirations for himself based on the roles he's taking.

My media diet: Industry’s Harry Lawtey
The HBO finance drama Industry is a veritable sleeper beat. Nobody was tweeting about it after the season premiere, and seemingly everyone was tweeting about it once all the episodes dropped around American Thanksgiving. It spawned an entire week of dedicated discussion in New Yorker author Kyle Chayka’s newsletter, Dirt. (Complete with proposed Industry merch for obsessives, namely this Rowing Blazers “Finance” hat.)
And perhaps more than the economic trickle-up of interest in the machinations of the London finance earth – it’s sort of like Succession from an intern’s point-of-view – viewers watched for the character play: the backhanded cunning of Harper (Myha’la Herrold) and the bisexual person fluctuations of Robert, played perfectly by 24-year-old actor Harry Lawtey.
The series has already been renewed for a second season, meaning there is still plenty of time to binge (and it’s leading watched in one go). Lawtey has previously appeared in ITV’s Marcella and Netflix’s The Letter to the King. But as Robert, Lawtey falls v
‘It has felt so bizarre’: Industry’s Harry Lawtey on coping with sudden fame
It’s not that Harry Lawtey is kidding himself. He’s fully aware, as we chat in a west London pub, that a giant billboard with his face plastered across it is now towering over New York City’s Times Square. “A buddy sent me a video of it just this morning,” he says, prodding at a plate of steak and chips. “My mug, that big in Manhattan? I can’t construct any sense of it, so I don’t ponder about it. It feels better for me to live as if it’s not actually happening.”
Lawtey has been thinking a lot like this lately, as his career and general profile have rapidly accelerated. The 27-year-old already has two critically acclaimed seasons of the HBO/BBC co-production Industry under his belt: a highly stressful, cash, cocaine and hormone-fuelled drama about a group of graduates during their first forays working at a fictional London investment bank. Lawtey plays a primary role – and its third instalment is about to hit UK screens.
There have been other parts, too: films like The Pale Blue Eyes, which starred Christian Bale; and You & Me, a three-part ITV romcom that he led. What’s happening now, though,
