Industry cast: Who stars in the BBC drama?

IF you’ve been looking for something gritty to watch, then you’ve come to the right place.

The BBC has just the thing for you, their explosive drama, Industry, which gives you an insight into the sometimes brutal world of London finance.

Who is in the cast of BBC drama Industry?

Industry follows graduate recruits at a London investment bank who have six months to prove themselves before half of them are fired.

The BBC drama examines issues of gender, race, class, and privilege in the workplace, as five ambitious people try to survive at Pierpoint & Co’s trading floor.

The series is seen through the eyes of outsider Harper Stern, who is a talented woman from upstate New York.

Girls creator Lena Dunham is executive producer on the show and here we take you through the cast:

Myha’la Herrold as Harper Stern

Myha’la is relatively new to the acting scene.

She has played Tami in one episode of Amazon original series Modern Love and starred as Lulu in the short The Tattooed Heart.

She also played Dymond in the movie Premature.

In Industry she plays leading lady Harper Stern, who is a talented graduate trainee from New York and lands a job at London investment bank Pierpoint & Co.

David Jonsson as Gus

David is known for playing Isaac Turner in the drama Deep State, and Cromwell Ames in ITV’s Endeavour.

He plays Gus in Industry, who is one of the graduate trainees.

His character feels he has the edge on the others as he went to both Eton and Oxford.

He’s a friend and roommate of Robert, and also sits next to Hari at Pierpoint.

Marisa Abela as Yasmine

Actress Abela starred in Man In A Box, and also played Ellie Sutherland in the TV series Cobra.

In Industry her character Yasmine works in Foreign Exchange Sales.

In her job interview she reveals that she’s a people pleaser who craves verbal validation from her peers.

Harry Lawtey as Robert

Actor Harry played Maurice in The Letter To The King, and has had roles in Marcella, Casualty, and Chuggington.

In Industry, Harry plays another of the graduate trainees.

He takes on the role of Robert, whose perceptions of the banking industry are stuck in the past.

Ruby Bentall as Lucinda

Viewers will likely recognise Ruby from Poldark, where she played Ross’ cousin Verity.

Before that she was known for Lark Rise To Candleford, Lost In Austen, and Jekyll & Hyde.

In Industry, she plays Gus and Hari’s foul-mouthed line manager, who is not scared to tell them what she thinks.
