Biography

Jim Henry, the youngest of six siblings, was born a mere one and a half hours after his identical twin brother, John, making him the youngest member of the Henry family. His father, Milburn, was a daring Air Force test pilot, stationed across various European locations, while his mother, Priscilla, was a dedicated Army nurse. Jim's oldest sibling, Patrick and Priscilla, are also twins, making the Henry family a complex and intriguing one.

Tragedy struck the family when Jim's sister, Cecilia, met an untimely demise in an automobile accident in 1985. However, Jim's other sister, Carol, has been a constant source of support for him, as has the entire family, which is known for its strong bonds and unwavering dedication to one another.

Jim's academic pursuits were somewhat secondary to his athletic endeavors, as he attended the University of Arizona and played lacrosse with great passion and enthusiasm. In 1979, he caught a glimpse of the glamour of Hollywood by serving as an action extra in the highly acclaimed film Stir Crazy (1980),directed by the legendary Sidney Poitier, starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. It was during this experience that Jim had the privilege of meeting the renowned stunt expert, Mickey Gilbert, who imparted valuable wisdom to him, warning him that the path ahead would be long and arduous, but ultimately, highly rewarding.
