Most of Henry's work had been as a supporting actor so far, but Dope Thief gives the center stage to his character, Ray Driscoll, who had a troubled childhood and is struggling to become a better person as an adult.
In an interview with Deadline published on April 6, 2025, Henry was asked why he agreed to do the role after turning it down at first.
"The character of Ray, I couldn’t deny him. There were so many parts of Ray that reflected me, which I try to do with all the characters [that I chose]," he said.
He continued:
"Ray came at a point in my life where I was really doing some deep healing, and I saw Ray was just trying so hard to figure out what his trauma was, what his grief was, and also there was just a huge heart to him. So, I couldn’t deny it."
He also said that the script was compelling, and the show also allowed him to work as an executive producer. So, he could not turn down the offer.
Dope Thief is available to stream on Apple TV+.
