He had aspired to be an accountant, like his mother. However, he was cast as Harold Hill in his high school (Florida Bible Christian School) production of The Music Man, and after that experience, he changed his mind. Henry studied drama at the University of Miami, graduating in 2006. In October 2012, Cathryn Stringer, his college sweetheart, married him.
Career

Henry came to The Scottsboro Boys, directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, with a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb. He portrayed Haywood Patterson, who received critical acclaim. "Joshua Henry... ignites the role of Haywood Patterson as the lightning rod for our identification with the men," the Star Tribune reported. In The New York Times, Charles Isherwood said that Henry "gives a show of keen emotion as Haywood Patterson, an illiterate young man who becomes the point of our admiration as he refuses to sign his name in order to obtain parole." "Go Back Home," Haywood's ballad of hopeless yearning, is a powerful simplicity that slashes through the evening's artifice. Despite these encouraging reviews, The Scottsboro Boys Boys sadly ended within a month.
