With family roots in Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, Harry draws inspiration from his rich heritage in the region, which has shaped his grounded and creative outlook. His connection to the county remains an integral part of his identity, fueling his passion for storytelling and his advocacy for the arts.
 
Harry first achieved widespread acclaim for his role as Robert Spearing in HBO’s hit series Industry (2020–present). In 2024, Harry expanded his repertoire with a significant role in the highly anticipated Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to the Academy Award-winning Joker (2019). Acting alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, Harry showcased his ability to bring depth and intensity to one of the year’s most high-profile productions.
 
Beyond his work on screen, Harry is passionate about supporting the arts and inspiring the next generation of creatives. Drawing on his strong ties to Lincolnshire, he advocates for arts education and the transformative power of storytelling to connect communities and foster new talent.
 
HARRY SAYS:
As someone whose heritage charts back to the town of Barton-upon-Humber in North Lincolnshire, I’m really glad to be able to advocate for the county and all it has to offer. There is a really rich cultural landscape in this part of the nation, that has been for far too long undeserved in fiction. There are stories that need telling, and talent that has to break through. There is a blueprint in the way a filmic infrastructure has been created in places like Cardiff and Manchester, and I’ve seen first hand how that has revitalised those areas, and engaged young people with new career paths. To see Lincolnshire similarly emerge as a creative hub, on both sides of the camera, would be a brilliant thing.

Kevin, who grew up in Scunthorpe is known to many as Joseph Molesley in DOWNTON ABBEY and has been part of the ensemble cast that have received international critical acclaim -  winning the SAG Award 2016 for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.

He first made a name for himself on stage, working extensively with the Royal Shakespeare Company, where his credits include A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Coriolanus, and Henry V.

​

Kevin also played John Wadsworth in BAFTA winning British series HAPPY VALLEY, and was in Headlong Theatre's production of THIS HOUSE during its Chichester run - before it made the move to the West End's Garrick Theatre.

​

Kevin says:

"My formative years were spent in Lincolnshire and it was there with the help of many that I discovered the possibility of broadened horizons. The teachers that encouraged, the cultural institutions there that inspired and the local council who financially enabled - to all of these there is an enormous debt of gratitude.

​

Lincolnshire is a beautiful but oftentimes overlooked county. It offers breathtaking scenery from the Fens to the Wolds, from ancient buildings to quiet seascapes. There is also a wealth of creative talent…and only 90 minutes from London."

Ian says
Ive always had the most incredible sense of pride coming from Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire and working in the entertainment business. It's a town and county that doesn't get the credit deserved for the highly talented and skilful creatives that have carved out fulfilling careers. Perhaps different when I first started, but now you don't have to move to London to seek out a career in the media industry. Lincolnshire offers a wide range of opportunities to start your creative journey as well as the most spectacular and diverse locations to film on. It would be a dream to have a dedicated Lincolnshire studio where the best talent could choose to work there as well as offering a pathway for the next generation of multimedia creatives.
