'It was like a party holiday': Industry star Toheeb Jimoh on joining the hit HBO show

When Toheeb Jimoh joined the cast of Industry season four, he was given one simple direction from the show’s creators.

“They just said: ‘Make him less of a douche,’” Jimoh remembers. In the world of Industry, this is a pretty atypical request. The hit HBO show sits on the Succession and Game of Thrones end of the spectrum when it comes to the likeability of its characters. They lie, cheat, and steal, repeatedly. Many of them also regularly commit insider trading, allude to incest, and inhale copious amounts of cocaine.
