“My agent contacted me one day and told me I had an audition for Ridley Scott’s new Sci-Fi series, Raised By Wolves. I couldn’t believe it at first, and I was so nervous for the audition, but then I was euphoric once I found out they cast me.” Said Lasker in a 2021 interview with GQ South Africa.
“Raised By Wolves is such a wild set to be working on, it is massive! Sets don’t get much bigger than that, and to be working in that environment alongside such incredible industry heavyweights was an honour. Just by being in that epic, high-pressured environment, I grew and experienced so much and literally felt like I got to go to another planet.” He continued.
