Meet Marisa Abela, the Breakout Star of the New HBO Series Industry

Meet Marisa Abela, the Breakout Star of the New HBO Series Industry

While quarantining in Brighton, England, earlier this year, the actor Marisa Abela maximized her time at her childhood home.

She started running 5Ks and even taught herself how to surf. But it was the many hours she logged indoors, refining the art of the Zoom audition, that proved most valuable to her career: “It’s all about angles and where you place the camera,” says the 23-year-old breakout star of Industry-a new HBO series about entry-level investment bankers in London, out next week.

These nuances also turned Abela on to the transformative power of makeup: how a wash of powder can diffuse the light or how a long-lasting liquid lipstick can translate over even the most pixelated of frames (and stay in place underneath a mask). “I’m normally quite low-key,” she notes, adding that the D.I.Y. beauty crash course was crucial to securing her role in Five Dates, a forthcoming choose-your-own-adventure rom-com made for gaming consoles, which was filmed via video chat during lockdown. “I had to do a chemistry read over Zoom,” she recalls, breaking into a laugh, of the virtual interaction (glitches included) with costar Taheen Modak. “That was really intense!”
