John Henry (1738-October 16, 1794) was an Irish-born actor and early American actor and theatre manager. ==Career==
Henry was born in Dublin, performed there and in London, and went to Jamaica with Charles Storer and his family about 1762. He made his New York debut at the opening of the John Street Theatre on December 7, 1767 playing the role of Aimwell in ''The Beaux' Stratagem''. He is said to have been the first to play the role of Peter Teazle in ''The School for Scandal'' in America. At the end of the American Revolution, after additional time in England and Jamaica, he returned to America and worked with Lewis Hallam Jr. to manage the American Company. He left the company in 1794 after disagreements with actor John Hodgkinson, who he had brought to the United States in 1792. William Dunlap described Henry as being six feet tall "and uncommonly handsome."〔Dunlap, William. (A History of the American Theatre ), p. 81 (1832)〕 Henry died at sea of illness on October 16, 1794, reportedly from complications from gout.〔Highfill, Philip H., Jr. et al. (A Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Actresses, Musicians ..., Vol. 17 ), pp. 270-71 (1982)〕
