He also appeared in various roles on episodes of many TV series. He was a member of the John Ford Stock Company and appeared 12 times for Ford. Henry was active with the Pasadena Community Playhouse. His brother was the character actor Thomas Browne Henry. Henry was married and divorced twice. His first marriage was to Grace Durkin, with whom he had son Michael and daughter Michele.
