Biography

Henry's passion for the craft of acting led him to shift his focus from a thriving movie career to nurturing the talents of aspiring actors instead. Currently, he is a dedicated instructor of acting at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, where he resides with his loving wife Susan and their children.

While Henry rarely speaks about his own movie career, he occasionally regales his students with entertaining stories that always leave them in stitches. If pressed, he might share tales of his experiences working with notable celebrities, offering candid and often humorous insights into his time in the industry.

Henry's creative endeavors extend beyond the classroom, as he is the driving force behind the successful Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival, which takes place annually. Locally, he is well-known and respected, although many may be unaware of his impressive list of movie credits.

One of his most iconic roles remains that of a Transylvanian in the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975),which continues to delight devoted fans on Halloween night every year.
