Ken Leung’s Big Swing
Industry’s creators have admitted to Chris Murphy that in season one, they slept on scene-stealer Ken Leung. But at least they didn’t make the same mistake twice: In the sophomore season of their HBO drama, Leung’s Eric has a much bigger spotlight, including a showcase episode of his own. Leung also chatted with Murphy about his big momentand his volatile character’s habit of carrying around a wooden baseball bat. “I wanted [a bat] that if you hit something, it could break,” he said. “All the other bats were, like, aluminum or whatever. They didn’t break. But a wooden baseball bat is almost like a metaphor for Eric. The harder you hit, the more chance that you will break.”
