Henry Goodman

Henry Goodman

Henry Goodman (born April 23, 1950) is a British theatre actor. He trained at RADA in London alongside Jonathan Pryce.

In 1988, he played George Green's Brother-in-law Cyril in London's Burning. He was the winner of the Olivier award for best actor in 1993 for his role in Stephen Sondheim's musical "Assassins" and in 2000 for his role as Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice" directed by Trevor Nunn.

Other roles include: Wintergreen in "Of Thee I Sing" (London 1996 - concert staging), Billy Flynn in "Chicago" (London 1997), and, Buddy in "Follies" (London 2002). He was in the middle of some unpleasant publicity when he took over for Nathan Lane in the Broadway production of "The Producers" in 2001, but his interpretation of Max Bialystock met with the disfavor of the producers of the show and he was replaced by Lane's understudy Brad Oscar in the role before he could be seen by reviewers.

He played the lead role of Tevye in Lindsay Posner's 2007 revival of Joseph Stein's 'Fiddler on the Roof', and in 2008 played the lead character in the radio serial "The Way We Live Right Now".

Early Nineties Boycott

It was known in the early nineties that Goodman declared a boycott of British pop group Duran Duran. This was due to the band advertising a new range of fridge magnets made by controversial comedian Bernard Manning.
