Henry Holden
1948-2016 |
|
Actor, Playwright, Motivational Speaker, Disability Activist.
Henry has appeared in over a dozen films television episodes. He is an extremely versatile actor, playing roles from lawyers and judges to bad asses and psychiatrists. He also appeared as a clown opposite Fergie when she was a child on Kids Incorporated.
Walking with a leg brace and the use of forearm crutches, due to polio at age four, hasn't prevented Henry from appearing at the National Horse Show in Madison Square Garden or bowling a 197 in league competition or learning how to fly a plane and glider or even becoming a certified scuba diver. Oh yes, let's not forget getting a bronze medal for skiing a slalom course in New Hampshire and finishing the Los Angeles Marathon and playing wheelchair basketball at local arenas.
Henry's career has evolved to say the least. When he could not get acting roles at the start of his career he became a stand-up comic, who makes fun of standing up. Soon Henry became an international speaker. In 2007 he was picked by the Napoleon Hill organization to become one of their speakers on their tour in Malaysia.
Four years ago Henry wrote the short play, 'The Hitman'. Two years ago it was produced in Los Angeles and was so popular that it added a second run. Now "The Hitman" has been adapted to the screen. |
