With a new season of IndustryHBO, MarisaAbela's character Yasmin enters a new season of life — and so has Abela herself. Below, she spoke to brookealamantia about her character, her childhood, and the iconic career moves awaiting her

It reminds me of something her Industry character, Yasmin Kara-Hanani, would say. Though the 25-year-old actor has lived in London for a few years, she still misses the little things about the beach town where she grew up.

She exudes confidence and a sense of comfort both in our conversation and onscreen, which she credits to watching her mother, actor Caroline Gruber, perform onstage. “If I go to a theater now and there’s a small child there, you can see that they’re a bit bored. I always had a lot of respect for it, especially because it was my mom’s place of work,” she says.
When we first meet Yasmin, she walks on eggshells in her new position on the trading floor. Though she is a multilingual publishing scion born into exorbitant privilege — and one of the few entry-level staffers seemingly bred for this line of work — she has a deadbeat boyfriend and an abusive boss, and we don’t even know if she likes what she’s doing.
“If you would have told me at the beginning of RADA that on my graduation day I’d have gotten a train back that morning from Cardiff filming an HBO show …,” she trails off, and I expect her to say that she would not have believed it. Instead she exclaims, “Yay!” Like Yasmin, Abela is not one to shy away from her victories.
