October Road
BRAD WILLIAM HENKE
Owen Rowan on the ABC Television Network's "October Road"
Brad William Henke is quickly making a name for himself as one of the busiest actors in Hollywood. Currently starring as Owan Rowan on the ABC drama "October Road," he also recently completed filming a leading role in the independent feature "Around June," opposite Samaire Armstrong and Jon Gries.
Henke has co-starred in such acclaimed films as "Me and You and Everyone We Know" and "North Country." He appeared in Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" for Paramount Pictures, which reunited him with his "Sherrybaby" co-star Maggie Gyllenhaal. He starred opposite Adrien Brody in Focus Features' "Hollywoodland," was seen as Diane Lane's gay best friend in the Warner Bros romantic comedy "Must Love Dogs," starred in the independent films "One Way to Valhalla" and "The Zodiac," and will be seen co-starring opposite Jeff Bridges in "The Amateurs," a comedy about a small town trying to make their own adult film.
Television credits include a starring role on the Showtime original series "Going to California" and a memorable recurring role on the Showtime drama "Dexter."
While shooting "Going to California," Henke had the opportunity to work with notable film directors Gary Fleder, Griffin Dunne, Peter Howitt and D.J. Caruso. Caruso was the first to put a camera in Henke's hands to mentor his directing aspirations, allowing him to shoot on the B camera while not acting in a scene. This experience led Henke to explore other aspects of filmmaking, and he has since written many television and film projects with his wife, Katelin. They are currently developing the independent dark love story, "Stuck," for Panopticon Pictures, which Henke will direct.
