Justin Henry(I)
- Actor
- Soundtrack
Justin Henry had a dream start in the business, when he was chosen for
a pivotal role in
Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) at the
age of seven, without any acting experience. He was nominated for an
Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor for his role in
Kramer vs. Kramer (1979),
becoming one of the youngest actors ever nominated. During the
eighties, he appeared in a handful of films, including
Martin's Day (1985) and
John Hughes's teen film
Sixteen Candles (1984). But after
co-starring in
Sweet Hearts Dance (1988), he
left films to pursue an education, before returning eight years later
to star in John Frankenheimer's
television film
Andersonville (1996). He
has once again been working in front of the camera in independently
directed films including
Finding Home (2003) and
My Dinner with Jimi (2003),
and is long away from his film debut as the kid with no acting
training. He has made the transformation to a full adult actor and is
waiting for what the future has in store for him.
