Biography
Harry Lawtey is a British actor (born 1996 in Oxford) who gained significant recognition for his breakthrough lead role as Robert Spearing in the financial drama series Industry (2020–2024), which he departed after the third season to focus on major feature film roles. Having trained at the Drama Centre London, Lawtey quickly established himself in films like The Pale Blue Eye and the recently released musical thriller Joker: Folie à Deux (2024), where he played Harvey Dent. His recent work includes starring as a young Richard Burton in the 2025 biographical film Mr Burton. Lawtey continues to work on highly anticipated projects, including the Cold War thriller The Billion Dollar Spy, co-starring with Russell Crowe—who famously praised Lawtey on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, calling him "the future of British cinema."
