Victor Henry

Victor Henry (* thirtieth July 1943 in Leeds , Yorkshire , England ; † 20th November 1985 , London , England) was a British actor who in 1968 together with Susan George and Jack Shepherd starring in the Swinging Sixties film All Neat in Played Black Stockings .

British actress and author Jane Asher , who appeared with Victor Henry in John Osborne's " Looking Back in Anger " at the Royal Court Theater in 1968 , remembers Victor Henry as one of the most brilliant actors she has ever worked with. whose performance, however, suffered greatly from his alcohol problems. Henry would have been convinced that he would probably find a dramatic death drunk, which is why it is an irony of fate that he was completely sober when he fell into a coma as a victim of a traffic accident , from which he would not wake up until his death should.

British actor Michael Gambon also reports that Victor Henry was a great actor at London's Royal Court Theater, where Henry played many leading roles, and was adored by most English actors of Gambon's age.

From 1964 to 1972 inclusive he was seen in about a dozen film and television productions, mostly in series.
