Henry had a guest role in This Is Us in 2017 and had his film breakthrough in 2018 with roles in Steve McQueen's heist film Widows and Barry Jenkins' romantic drama If Beale Street Could Talk. He has since appeared in Child's Play (2019), Joker (2019), Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), Bullet Train (2022), and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024). He portrayed Phastos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Eternals (2021).

He also voiced Jefferson Davis in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and its sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) and Megatron in Transformers One (2024). Henry has also appeared on stage, making his debut performance in the Shakespeare in the Park production of Romeo and Juliet (2007) and acting in various plays at the Public Theatre before appearing in the original Broadway cast of The Book of Mormon (2011).
