Podcast Episode 109: Gregg Henry On ABOVE THE LINE, Hollywood & Brian De Palma

Over the course of the last half century, Gregg Henry has become one of the most prolific – and one of the best character actors around. A man who has notched-up seven guest-starring roles in Murder, She Wrote alone and who has starred in six Brian De Palma projects as well as movies like Payback, Jason Bourne and the Guardians Of The Galaxy films – to name but a few. 

I first noticed him opposite Mel Gibson in Payback – where he more than held his own on screen against that A-list star – and I know that he always gives a great performance, no matter what role he plays.

In his new film, Above The Line, Henry plays a ruthless Hollywood producer, who gets more than he bargained for when a group of Hollywood wannabes attempt to steal his Best Picture Awards on Christmas Eve. 

I was thrilled to chat with Gregg Henry about Above The Line, the changing face of movies in the 21st Century — as well what he knows about the rumblings of a new Brian De Palma film

Above The Line is available on Digital & On Demand June 26, 2026.
