Character
Henry Harding
Henry Harding in Dead to Me (2019), played by Luke Roessler.
Henry is the younger of Jen Harding's two sons, still reeling from his father's sudden death as the show begins. Quieter and more visibly wounded than his brother, he clings close to his mother, watches her grief with worried eyes, and tries to make sense of a loss no one around him is handling well.
Luke Roessler plays Henry without a trace of precocious kid-actor polish — his sadness is plain and unshowy, which makes him a quiet moral anchor amid his mother's spiraling chaos. In a show built on dark comedy and deception, Henry's genuine, unguarded grief keeps the stakes human and real.
