  • Ken Leung on Playing One of TV’s Most Toxic Bosses

    Ken Leung on Playing One of TV’s Most Toxic Bosses
    Feb 26 2026
    Actor Ken Leung is no stranger to the toxic male archetype. He embodies it as Eric Tao, the ruthless baseball-bat-carrying trading floor bully he plays on HBO’s “Industry.” Leung talks with Audie about what pushes characters like Eric—on screen and in real life—over the edge from family man to a name you could see in the Epstein files. They also discuss why women of color don’t get the “anti-hero” treatment, and how “Industry” has evolved into a portrait of the greed, corruption, and class conflict defining this moment. -- This episode was produced by Lori Galarreta and Jesse Remedios Senior Producer: Matt Martinez Technical Director: Dan Dzula Learn more about your ad choices.

I’m a fan. I like everything about this podcast. I’m sitting here at work listening now. The interviews feel a little NPRish every once in a while - but, overall, Audie does a great job.

This episode was riveting from beginning to end. It spoke to so many of the real and perceived cultural traumas of our tunes. Why did it take so long for the psychology world to “get it”? Loved it!!!

Absolute BEST Podcast I’ve ever heard
