Harry Lawtey

Biography

Harry Lawtey has rapidly ascended to become one of Britain's most compelling young actors. Born into a "football family," he moved from Cyprus to London at age 13 to pursue acting after being inspired by a local production of Oliver!. He spent the early part of his career on the stage and in small TV roles before landing his breakout role as Robert Spearing in the HBO/BBC financial drama Industry (2020–2024). In 2025 and 2026, Lawtey successfully bridged the gap between television and film. He earned widespread critical acclaim, and a BAFTA Cymru nomination, for his portrayal of a young Richard Burton in the biopic Mr. Burton. Despite being English, his "bespoke" Welsh accent and physical transformation into the screen legend were hailed as the centerpiece of the film. In early 2026, he remains a major presence on screen with the release of the crime thriller Under Salt Marsh.
