He played the title role in Channel 4's 2004 documentary Who Killed Thomas Becket? (a "promotion" from his role as Tempter in the RSC Murder in the Cathedral, T. S. Eliot's version of the same story); and was a deportment tutor and a shoemaker respectively in the BBC's adaptation of The Young Visiters [sic] (2003) and Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking (Christmas 2004).

=Radio
From around 2004 until the end of her show in 2010, Guy Henry gained an additional fanbase as a result of his friendship with the Radio 2 presenter Sarah Kennedy, who began by corresponding with his father. Through letters to Sarah from Henry himself, his father and "the Lady Agrippa" (a nickname for his mother), listeners were kept up to date on his career. A recording of his voice announced her regular "It's Showtime!" slot of tunes from the musicals at about 6.45am GMT – originally he just spoke the title of the slot, and a whole repertoire of different recordings was later added. He also occasionally appeared live on her show, and co-hosted with her as part of the annual charity appeal Children in Need.
Since 2022 he has hosted his own Sunday morning radio show (between 11am and 1pm) for Cosham based QA Radio which is also available to listen to online.
Guest appearances
Henry was a guest speaker at an NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) summer seminar entitled Shakespeare: Enacting the Text. (5 July to 6 August 1999).
