With his third glass of wine in hand, he pondered. "Hmm, I supposed I could help you. What could go wrong tonight?" He took one more sip. "How can I help?"
𓏲 * ( sebastian stan, cismale, he/him, henry cavill cc ) ⸺ pictures of HAROLD “HARRY” GRIFFIN JR have been showing up all over my feed, and considering the last time they were #trending, it was due to not signing on his latest superhero movie — i'm not likely to unfollow anytime soon. with their fitted suits that could be dressed down, slicked back hair and striking blue eyes, i'm not surprised to hear that they are considered part of the BLUE BLOODS. after forty years, they've managed to garner a reputation for being more generous than dramatic, but their critics say that they're more impulsive than creative when they aren't too busy focusing on their living in the shadow of his multi-Emmy winning father, attending the endless award shows and after parties, huge superhero franchise that are impossible to escape. when they aren't occupied with their work as a producer / actor, they've been sighted reading comic books. reputation.com has taken to calling them LONDON BOY in order to avoid a lawsuit ( again ).

tldr;
Harry is the first child out of four to famous film director Harry Griffin Sr. ( Steven Spielberg fame ). He had always grew up around movies.
Going to movie premiers were just fun family activity for Harry growing up. He also loved to visit his father on set. He did get small background roles in a lot of his father's films.
His family moved from London to LA when he was fifteen. His mother wanted him and his siblings to have a little bit of a normal childhood. He attended the best private schools both in London and LA.
By the time he was turning 18, Harry was in the spotlight. The world knew about him, from his father. He was a bit of a teenage heart throb that wasn't actually in the film industry. All of his fame came from his father's success.
His curiosity on getting more into film industry had him asking other directors, who were friends of his father to be in their movies. It took a while but Harry got his first acting credit in a small period film . It showed off Harry's true acting skills.
Soon every teenage girl had posters of him on their walls. Harry was going to events and premieres just for him to be there on the carpet. He became a true 90's heartthrob
His next movie he landed was a large budget historical piece . The director loved his look that they needed him to be in the film. The film blew up in the box office sky rocketing Harry's career. He was one of Hollywood's biggest name before 30.
After the success of the film, he took a few roles here and there but it was at this time that he wanted to work behind the scenes and start producing. Mostly working with his favorite directors and cast. He did this for a few years, taking a break from being in the main spotlight. He didn't stop acting, just not taking the main lead.
It was the casting choice for one hugely anticipated superhero movie that got Harry back in front of the camera. He was the number one choice to play Superman in the latest remake. He took pride in the role, enjoying the promotion for the movie. The fandom the came with the movie really
Headcannons;
Despite being a born and raised in London, a lot of people believe he is American after his role as Superman.
He is a huge comic / superhero fan. He even produced all the Superman films he was in. As well some other super hero films.
He has a three year old Border Collie, Quinn, to keep his home occupied.
More to come !
Rubbing his glove clad hand together, Harry tried to keep himself warm. As the year was coming to an end, the weather was getting colder. And a winter in New York could be harsh. Harry pulled his coat tighter around him making his way into Central Park. The park during this time of year was the best to visit. He heard the footsteps approaching next to him. "Not yet. Close." Harry laughed it off. New York weather was nothing compared to England winters. "But if we do want to continue the day out here, I need some coffee."
air grew colder , scarves came out , steam rising from the grates billowed stronger and finn adored all of it . the contrast between the big grey city and the seas of reds , yellows and oranges from home as the seasons changed . the way lovers tucked their hands into the other's pocket as they walked . they adored seeing the normal things , the small gestures between millions of people sharing a city that made everyone anonymous , even them , to some extent . beanie tugged over reddened ears to shield them from the cold , sheepskin jacket pulled tight around him , he hoisted himself up the last few steps from the subway and down the street to central park . " sorry i'm late , " he said as he walked up along side them . " i hope you're not too frozen . "

It had been a good while since Harry really got invested in a role. His acting roles had been limited. With his years in the business, he had the privilege to handpick the roles he wanted to play. He wasn't going to sign onto anything. When he heard of the this fantasy best seller being worked on, he jumped onto the project. Like any good actor, he took on some research on the story. But just reading the book wasn't enough for him. He got his people to contact the author in hopes to set up a lunch with him. Harry reserved a table at one of his favorite cafes in the city. He had only been sitting for a moment before he noticed someone walking up to the table. Quickly he swiped the corner of his mouth to greet them. "Thank you so much for taking the time to meet me today. It's such a pleasure to meet you."
With the holidays around the corner, everyone was busy. Harry had his hand full but he had a bit of extra time to assist his elderly father. It was a quick errand to hope over to Kavas Enterprises to finalize an agreement for funding Harry Sr's next project. Harry walked into Kavas Enterprises and was directed to Kemal's office. Seeing Kemal clearly busy at his desk, Harry gave a quick knock on the open door to announce his arrival. The eye contact gave him the signal to at least walk in. "I'm here on behave of my father. He had a financial agreement, and he just needed to make some adjustments. The production had some additions made. Just wanted to make sure if it's in budget. He couldn't make due to his health, so I'm here in his place."

he’s been actively ignoring the individual at his door, making it known that he’s more than aware of their presence by looking up from the tablet in his grasp for a solid moment to make eye contact before moving back to business. not only was he in the dog house and forced to run to the bathroom for testing every so many hours ( as if he could actively snort anything with a babysitter on duty ), but he was drowning in stocks that continue to drop. “ jesus — fucking christ, what do you want ? ” finally, he looks up to properly acknowledge the person that’s taking up space in his office.
"That is true. Especially some good company. Which is hard to come by now a days. Being in a car most of the day, gets lonely then?"

"You must have me mixed up with somebody else. This isn't my usually choice of wardrobe" There was a large mix of people here. All of them in high end outfits that could easily mistaken one for another. "I'm Harry."
“… i still like to believe that you can tell if someone’s genuine or not”.

"Are you always this straightforward?" He let out a chuckle. "I like that."

Harry waved over the man as soon as Rhys walked into the pub. The private section he was given had the perfect spot to watch the game. Harry frequent this particular pub often as it reminded him the most of ones back in England. "Over here." It had been a good while since he sat down with a pal to watch a football soccer game. He still refused to call it soccer even in America. Quickly ordering a round of beers, Harry greeted Rhys. "Glad you showed."
