Justin Henry
Biography
Justin Henry is an American actor and businessman who began his career as a child, playing Billy Kramer in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979). Born in Rye, New York, he earned Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actor for that debut, making him the youngest nominee in either category, and also won a Young Artist Award. He went on to appear in Sixteen Candles (1984) as Mike, one of Samantha's siblings, and played the son of characters portrayed by Don Johnson and Susan Sarandon in Sweet Hearts Dance, where critic Janet Maslin described him as a large and amusingly sullen teenager. Later credits include a two-episode role as a medical student on ER in 1997 and the mockumentary The Junior Defenders, filmed that year and released direct-to-video in 2007. He also co-founded the Slamdunk Film Festival in 1998.
