Henry moved to the big screen as a waiter who befriends an unhappy heiress (Mariel Hemingway) in "The Suicide Club" (1988). His concert performance film "Lenny Live/Lenny Live and Unleashed" (1989) captured his routines and proved popular in his homeland. Disney executives approached him with an offer of a possible multi-picture deal which led to his being cast in Charles Lane's "True Identity" (1991). The film's controversial premise had Henry playing an aspiring actor who is forced to hide from gangsters by pretending to be a white Italian-American. While the execution proved routine, the film did offer its lead an opportunity to impress with his facility with mimicry. The disappointing box office, however, led Disney to release Henry from his contract. More recently, he returned to the concert halls touring the UK and Australia performing comedy.
