| A Biography of Gregg Henry |
Gregg Henry is one of Hollywood's busiest actors, initially vaulting to celebrity status with his first television appearance in 1976 as Wesley Jordache, Nick Nolte's son in the sequel to Rich Man, Poor Man. Born on May 6th, 1952 in Lakewood, Colorado, Gregg's earliest acting credits were in the theater.
Now located in Los Angeles, some of his recent credits include Mel Gibson's Payback, Star Trek: Insurrection, The Big Brass Ring, in which he stars opposite William Hurt and recurring roles on the television series' Family Law and 24. A favorite actor for Brian DePalma, he played the drill wielding villain in Body Double and has also appeared in DePalma's Scarface, Raising Cain and the recently released Femme Fatale. Other favorite roles for the actor include The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleading Murdering Mom opposite Holly Hunter, which was directed by Michael Ritchie for HBO, and Bodily Harm opposite Linda Fiorentino. He will next be seen in a recurring role on the new drama series Eyes for ABC, set to premiere on Wednesday March 30 at 10:00pm.
Gregg Henry is an actor who continues to work on the stage. He has received 13 Drama Logue Awards, an L.A. Weekly Award, the prestigious Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award, and two additional L.A.D.C.C. nominations for his work. Married to theater director Lisa James, Gregg Henry often collaborates with his wife to produce and act in her stage productions, most recently in the critically acclaimed The Visible Horse.
As a musician, Gregg Lee Henry has been composing songs his whole life, accompanying himself with his own keyboard compositions. He began doing musical gigs in L.A. venues several years ago and over the last four years has produced four albums that display his very unique blues style and wry humor. The songs are completely Gregg's, backed vocally by his actor friends Bruce Greenwood and John Lathan.
Bruce Greenwood first met Gregg on the set of a proposed TV series pilot called Dead End Brattigan. Later seen as the TV movie The Great Pretender, the series never jelled, but their friendship did. Over the years they've worked together casually on various musical projects, and in 2000 Bruce talked Gregg into producing his first CD, an effort that was completely Gregg's though Bruce helped produce and did some background vocals. Three CDs later, Gregg's music career is upwardly mobile, especially with the success of the cut "The Back of Your Hand" which Dwight Yoakam recorded after Bruce connected the two on the set of his movie Hollywood Homicide. In addition to his musical recordings, Gregg performs gigs live, and Bruce joins him as a backup singer whenever he's available.
