Biography

Mike Henry rose to prominence as star linebacker of the Los Angeles Rams. Handsome enough to pass as a movie star, Henry was offered any number of film and television assignments upon his retirement from the gridiron. His first TV starring role was as the army-sergeant husband of Juliet Prowse in Mona McCluskey, a 1965 sitcom that came and went in 13 weeks. Shortly afterward, Henry made his screen bow as filmdom's 14th Tarzan in Tarzan and the Valley of Gold (1966); he starred in two subsequent Tarzan epics before relinquishing the role to Ron Ely. Sporadically active in films ever since, Mike Henry was featured in all three Smokey and the Bandit films of the late 1970s-early 1980s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
