HENRY DEACON
Joe Morton

Henry Deacon is a true jack-of-all-trades. Masquerading as the local mechanic, his feats of engineering are a constant source of wonder and amusement. Whether outfitting Eureka ’s police cruisers with the latest and greatest gadgets or inventing a global air conditioning system, Henry has the keen ability to figure out the mechanics of nearly any contraption. So why is Henry such a dedicated do-gooder? Perhaps he sees his work in Eureka as a chance to redeem himself for sins of a complicated past.

Joe Morton most recently starred in the summer crowd-pleaser Stealth with Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel and Sam Shepard. This only adds to the distinguished list of actors Morton has worked alongside in both features and telefilms including Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman in John Woo’s Paycheck, Jon Voight in the movie Jasper, Texas, Will Smith in Ali, Kevin Costner in Dragonfly, and Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow in Bounce. Morton was the narrator for the eight-part documentary Africa on PBS and the enormously successful Ken Burns documentary Jazz.

Film fans perhaps best know Morton as The Brother From Another Planet or as the

ill-fated scientist in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Morton’s other film credits include Speed, Executive Decision, The Astronaut’s Wife, Blues Brothers 2000, Tap, Gary Sinise’s Of Mice and Men in which he portrayed Crooks, and the John Sayles films Lone Star and City of Hope.

Morton was a Tony Award nominee for his portrayal of Walter Lee Younger in the musical Raisin. He played Colin Powel in the world premiere of David Hare’s Stuff Happens at the National Theatre in London , and Serge in Art on Broadway with Judd Hirsch and George Wendt (he later reprised the role on the London stage).

Television audiences have enjoyed Morton’s starring roles in the series Equal Justice, Under One Roof with James Earl Jones and Tribeca (for which he also directed an episode), as well as a recurring role on Smallville and most recently in multiple episodes of CSI: NY and NBC’s E-Ring. Joe has turned in noteworthy performances as Malcolm X in Ali: An American Hero, the award-winning HBO film Miss Evers’ Boys and a spectacular star turn in The X-Files.
