Jim Henry is the youngest of six children, born one and a half hours
after his twin brother John. His father, Milburn, was an Air Force test
pilot and was stationed all over Europe. His mother, Priscilla, was an
Army nurse. Jim's oldest brother and sister, Patrick and Priscilla, are
also twins. Jim lost a sister, Cecilia, in an automobile accident in
1985. His other sister, Carol, has always supported him in all of his
stunt endeavors, as has the entire family, which is very close. Jim
attended the University of Arizona, where he played lacrosse more than
he studied. In 1979 he got a taste of Hollywood by being an action
extra in the hit Stir Crazy (1980),
directed by Sidney Poitier, with
Richard Pryor and
Gene Wilder. He met one of the biggest names
in the stunt world, Mickey Gilbert, who
let Jim know it would be a long hard road, but very rewarding in the
end.
