Stephen McKinley Henderson

Stephen McKinley Henderson, born in 1949, navigates the American stage and screen with a quiet authority. His television presence is marked by his role as Omar York in the short-lived drama "New Amsterdam" (2008), while his filmography includes a range of supporting roles: from the loquacious Arthur in "Everyday People" (2004) to the bumbling Lester in the ensemble comedy "Tower Heist" (2011). More recently, he brought gravitas to "Lady Bird" (2017) as Father Leviatch and added a dash of mystery in the role of Thufir Hawat in Denis Villeneuve's expansive "Dune" (2021).
