Thomas Browne Henry (November 7, 1907 – June 30, 1980) was a quintessential American character actor, known for his prolific career playing stern and decisive authority figures in film and television. With his stocky build, sharply etched features, and a commanding, no-nonsense voice, he was perfectly cast as the generals, police chiefs, and political leaders who meant business. He is especially beloved by science-fiction fans for his key roles in classic 1950s creature features, often playing the military officer tasked with defending the planet in films like Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956) and 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957). Alongside fellow actor Morris Ankrum, Henry’s reliable and authoritative presence made him one of the go-to actors for portraying the men who stood between humanity and alien invaders.
