He even portrayed Tybalt in a Shakespeare in the Park production of Romeo and Juliet alongside Oscar Isaac, who played Romeo. In 2009, Henry made his TV debut in an episode of "Law and Order" (NBC, 1990-2010), then followed it up with an appearance on "The Good Wife" (CBS, 2009-2016) in 2010.

Henry made his feature film debut in the Luis Guzman-led comedy Puerto Ricans in Paris in 2015. He next portrayed recurring character Tavis Brown on the Danny McBride and Walton Goggins comedy "Vice Principals" (HBO, 2016- ) and starred on Donald Glover's "Atlanta" (FX, 2016) as aspiring rapper Alfred "Paper Boi" Miles.
