About

Harry Lawtey (born 26 October 1996) is a British actor. He is known for his role in the drama series Industry (2020–2024). He has also played Harvey Dent in the film Joker: Folie à Deux (2024).

Lawtey was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, while his father, a military aircraft engineer, was stationed at RAF Brize Norton. His parents were childhood sweethearts from the Northern town Barton-upon-Humber, where much of his extended family still lives. Lawtey has said of his parents’ hometown: “I have never lived in the place that I feel as though I’m from.” He has an older brother, George, who is a first-team coach for Swansea City AFC.
Lawtey and his family moved to Cyprus when he was 4 years old. A touring production of Oliver! that played at a local Cypriot amphitheatre when Lawtey was 13 inspired him to pursue acting. While on holiday back in England, he auditioned for the Sylvia Young Theatre School, which he attended as a boarding student, staying with a host family in Abbey Wood alongside four other boys. He then completed his A-levels at Hurtwood House in 2015. He went on to graduate from the Drama Centre London in 2018.
