Brad William Henke, an NFL player who later earned a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for playing a gay corrections officer in the Netflix series “Orange Is the New Black,” has died. He was 56.
The former defensive lineman “died peacefully in his sleep” on Tuesday, his agent, Sheree Cohen, said Friday. No cause of death was provided.
Henke, who appeared in more than 40 films, was born in Columbus, Neb.., and raised in Littleton, Colo. He played college football on a scholarship at the University of Arizona and was a standout defensive lineman, team captain and All-Academic student journalist, his agent said. He went pro in 1989 when the New York Giants drafted him.
The actor had longer stints in drama series including the ABC series “October Road” and “Lost,” FX’s “Justified,” “Going to California” on Showtime and the sitcom “Nikki” on the WB.
