'Henry Danger' Star Sean Ryan Fox Talks Fans, Final Season and Big Screen Aspirations

Nickelodeon's hit comedy series Henry Danger may be approaching its final world-saving adventure. The series, which will conclude its five-season run this spring, follows teen Henry Hart (Jace Norman) who takes on the role of sidekick to Swellview’s greatest superhero, Captain Man (Cooper Barnes).


Fans at Kidz Expo presented by StarNews Media in Wilminghton, NC recently got the chance to meet Henry Danger star Sean Ryan Fox, who plays Jasper Dunlop, Henry’s best friend and confidante on the show. Before the expo and the final run of Henry Danger episodes, Fox spoke with StarNews Media about what he’ll miss about the show, what to expect from the last episodes and why he wants his next chapter to be on the big screen. Check out the interview below!:

StarNews: With “Henry Danger” coming to end, what can you share about the final episodes?

Sean Ryan Fox: They are definitely some of our best. Out of all the "Henry Danger” series, these are some of our best work, the best writing, and us as actors got to play with our characters and have fun with it. There are some really cool things that go on, but I can’t say much about it because we want to keep it a secret for fans. But we definitely tie in multiple episodes, where before we had a lot of (standalone) episodes that didn’t connect to anything. This season, we really tie it all together and it ends up being a really cool product.

SN: Knowing that the end is on the horizon, did that give you and your fellow cast members some motivation to play around with your characters and do things you’ve always wanted to do?

SRF: If there were any jokes or pitches that we wanted to do, we definitely throw them in there. We played around with some of the things the writers do as well, because they were writing some stuff for us to do now that it is the end – and we definitely got to play around with it. We wanted to try some new things before we finished, for sure.

SN: The show will have aired more than 100 episodes when it’s all said and done. Looking back on it, what will you take away most from playing Jasper?

SRF: It was a fun experience and I built a family from it in a way, and that stage, in a way, is like a home for me. It was really good to experience being a lead on a show for a long period of time. But I think I will just take away memories of the family we built on that set.

SN: Is that what you will miss most about “Henry Danger,” the on-set family?

SRF: Yeah, that set has become a home for me. I went back recently to observe some stuff and it still feels like home, like you lived there in a sense. We will miss the family aspect, where we can all joke around and just love each other. The cast and the crew is what I will miss the most.

SN: Knowing where the show ends up, do you think fans will be satisfied with Captain Man and Kid Danger’s final missions?

SRF: For sure! I think where the show ends, it leaves some really cool ideas on the table that, whether they get expanded upon or not, I think fans will really love. The great things about endings is that, as long as they are open-ended, fans can always create more with fan fiction. But I think the end is very well done and fans are going to like it.

SN: I know fans have been clamoring for a “Henry Danger” movie. Is that something you would want to be a part of if it happened?

SRF: Definitely! If there was some time between the movie and when we finished the show, I think that would be a good reunion for us as a cast. I think it would be fun as a final adventure. I’ve always thought a big hurrah would be a movie and I think that would be cool to kind of finish it off.

SN: So what lies beyond “Henry Danger” for you? What do you want with this next stage of your career?

SRF: I’m back out in the field auditioning for stuff. I don’t know if I’d do another TV show or at least another sitcom. I would have to really like it. But I’m definitely trying to go into movies that are a little bit shorter amounts of time. I’ve spent six years on one set. As fun as it was, I think a three or six-month shoot for a movie is definitely where I am at right now. Definitely in the movie department.

SN: So your fans should look for you on the big screen?

SRF: That’s the plan!

SN: What do you like about doing these expos and events like what you will be doing in Wilmington on Feb. 22 at the Kidz Expo?

SRF: I think it is the interaction with the fans. I remember when I was super young and watched these shows on Disney Channel or Nick, and idolized these stars. You are star struck when you see them, and I remember that when I was younger. So it is always cool to see these kids who are super fans of the show and so excited to meet us, and the older people who grew up with the show. I just like hearing everyone’s stories. It’s so cool!
