American audiences were introduced to Henderson in the famous film directed by John Woo, Windtalkers, where he played a supporting role. Following this successful role, this smiling Kiwi had many different bit parts including roles in movies The Ring, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and hit show House, as well as appearing in the Brittany Spears video "Toxic." He has also maintained overseas roles in New Zealand and Australian television throughout his career.
The roles have led us to his spot-on casting as Virgin River lead Jack Sheridan, where his chemistry with costar Alexandra Breckenridge is clear. Speaking to Celebs in Depth, the actor seems as dreamy off-screen as on. "I think, at the heart, there's a degree of, just mutual respect. It also parallels what the characters have for one another because that's essentially what the friendship's built on. And I think that's why the love and the romance that is there, is the whole drive of the show, in a way, comes out of a genuine friendship," he said of Breckenridge.
And don't expect this leading man to slow down any time soon. Sports fans are likely to see him in a variety of events, too. In fact, Henderson won the celebrity male division of the 32nd annual Nautica Malibu Triathlon — an event that raised over $1.4 million for Children's Hospital Los Angeles' Pediatric Cancer Research Program.
All we know is whatever project Martin Henderson has next, we'll be watching.
