Henry Simmons
Detective Baldwin Jones on NYPD Blue

An exceptional athlete, Henry Simmons pursued his business degree at a New England college on a basketball scholarship. After graduating he accepted a position at a prestigious Fortune 500 company, and it was only a short while later that he decided to pursue acting full-time. Simmons began his acting career while doing odd jobs to support himself, often spending nights sleeping on a friend's couch or in the back room of the theater in which he was performing.

He got his lucky break while rehearsing for an independent feature film. Although that film was never produced, it led to a role in the New Line feature "Above the Rim." What followed were numerous on-stage appearances at LaMaMa Theatre Company in "Geranos," and at other esteemed institutions.

In 1996 Simmons landed a role in a pilot, which led to a role on the soap "Another World." Other television credits include appearances on "New York Undercover," "Swift Justice," "Saturday Night Live" and "The Cosby Mysteries."

Simmons also stars in the independent romantic comedy "Let It Snow," and appeared in the independent film "On the QT" -- in which he portrayed the son of James Earl Jones' character. He can be seen next in "A Gentleman's Game."

Simmons has two sisters, including one twin, and maintains a close relationship with his family.
