Del Henney - Biography
Del Henney (born 17th December 1938 in Liverpool, Lancashire) is a British character actor, perhaps best known for his role as Charlie Venner in Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs (1971).
He graduated from RADA in 1965. In addition to stage and film work, he appeared in numerous television productions. He was known for Straw Dogs (1971), Fallen Hero (1978) and Crown Court (1972).
Born in Anfield, Liverpool, he was educated at the Liverpool Collegiate before joining the army. He then subsidised his love of amateur dramatics with various manual jobs and it was whilst washing dishes at Butlin’s that he was encouraged by a fellow employee (Jimmy Tarbuck, impressed by Henney’s deft impressions of American film stars) to consider a professional acting career.
The camera loved his piercing eyes and understated simmering, but he was no less effective on the stage. He had a successful stint with the Glasgow Citizens Theatre in 1965 and then played an impressive roster of roles at the Edinburgh Lyceum: Iago in Othello, Biff in Death of a Salesman, Andrei in Three Sisters and and McCann in The Birthday Party.
