Nickelodeon’s long-running live action sitcom, Henry Danger, is one in the long line of Nick shows that came to an end before fans were ready to let go. The show, which premiered on the kids’ network in 2014, starred among others, Jace Norman, Cooper Barnes, Riele Downs, and Sean Ryan Fox, and provided a steady supply of laughs and giggles for five seasons.
Before concluding its six-year run, the show was pulling in over a million viewers per episode and had clinched the coveted title of Favorite TV Show at the Kids’ Choice Awards twice. After such an outstanding performance, it's only natural that the stars of the beloved TV show would go on to do amazing things after their time on the show came to an end. With fan-favorites like Jace Norman expected to make a comeback in an upcoming Paramount+ film based on the series, we take a look at what the Henry Danger cast has been up to since the show wrapped.
8 Jace Norman Didn’t Stray Far From Nickelodeon After Henry Danger Wrapped
As testament to its popularity, Henry Danger received a spinoff titled Danger Force just months after its season five finale aired. However, given that his character’s alter ego, Kid Danger, sacrificed himself at the end of the original show, Jace Norman could not reprise his role in the spinoff.
Though he could no longer portray Kid Danger, the now 23-year-old star continued to work with the franchise, taking up producer duties in the spinoff and even making cameos on two episodes as Henry Hart.
7 Jace Norman Is Set To Star In An Upcoming Film Based On Henry Danger
As part of a broader deal signed with Nickelodeon and AwesomenessTV at the end of his tenure on Henry Danger, Jace Norman is expected to reprise his role as Henry Hart in an upcoming Paramount+ film based on the Henry Danger series.
“This is really my first step to getting to fulfill my dream of getting behind the camera and actually creating shows, as opposed to just acting,” Norman toldVariety of the upcoming film. “I love acting, and I’ve been with Nickelodeon for a while, but I’ve always wanted to kind of be able to create my own shows.”
6 Jace Norman Runs His Own Social Media Company
In between filming and producing, Jace Norman makes time to run his social media company, Creator Edge Media, which he founded in 2018 alongside his brother Xander Norman, and renowned sports agent Mike Gruen.
"I saw a lot of these influencers who post their ad, and they don’t really have a good integration into the brand," Jace toldJ-14 of the company in 2018. "It’s just holding up the product real quick or just like saying, 'Hey, buy this!' real quick.' Our goal is to seamlessly integrate these brands with the creators or the influencers — whatever you wanna call them — in a way that doesn’t hurt the eye of the people who follow them in the first place."
5 Cooper Barnes Reprised His Role As Captain Man In The Henry Danger Spinoff, Danger Force
Unlike Jace Norman, Cooper Barnes’ character, Captain Man, wasn’t killed off in Henry Danger’s season five finale. As such, the 43-year-old got to continue portraying the temperamental superhero in the spinoff, Danger Force.
“I'm very fortunate for it,” Barnes told NickAlive of portraying Captain Man for close to a decade. “He's a great character, and I love playing him. He's fun. He's cathartic because there are many facets to his personality that are ridiculous and out there. I'm able to stay reasonably calm in my own life even though the world's a crazy place.”
4 Riele Downs Has Racked Up A Few More Acting Credits
Riele Downs, the child actress behind Henry Danger’s Charlotte, continued to pursue her passion for acting after the show wrapped. The now 21-year-old recently starred in the supernatural teen comedy Darby and the Dead, which premiered on Hulu in December 2022.
Downs has also become an avid social activist, using her platform to advocate for diversity in Hollywood. “Being a young, black female in this life, and thus in this industry, I’m quite privy to what it’s like to feel like an underdog,” she toldVanityTeen in 2022. “I believe so strongly in the equality of everybody, no matter your race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other way that may set you apart. At the end of the day, we’re all human and deserving of love, acceptance, and opportunities.”
3 Sean Ryan Is Set To Star In An Upcoming Lucca Vieira Film
Sean Ryan Fox, known for portraying the brutally honest, albeit inept Jasper Dunlop in Henry Danger, continued to pursue acting after his time on the show lapsed. The 21-year-old even made a few cameos on Danger Force, but didn’t transition into recurring or main cast status.
After a rather sluggish two years, during which he did not appear in as many projects as fans would’ve liked, the actor is making a comeback to the big screen in the upcoming Lucca Vieira film, The Midway Point. The film, which is currently in post-production, stars Sean as Jake, an introverted high school junior who falls in love with his more outgoing classmate, Alice.
2 Ella Aiko Anderson Has Ventured Into Music
Ella Aiko Anderson, who was nominated for Favorite Female TV star at the 2020 and 2021 Kids’ Choice Awards for her portrayal of Henry Hart’s cantankerous little sister, Piper Hart, also continued to nurture her creative talents after the show wrapped.
Though her acting career is far from taking off, Anderson is quite active on social media, and even has a YouTube channel with over 55,000 subscribers. The 18-year-old has also ventured into music, and currently has three singles under her belt.
1 Michael D. Cohen Reprised His Role As Schwoz In The Henry Danger Spinoff, Danger Force
Michael D. Cohen, the actor behind Henry Danger’s resident mad scientist Schwoz Schwartz, also reprised his role in the Henry Danger spinoff, Danger Force.
The actor, who transitioned from female to male over two decades ago, has also morphed into an avid trans advocate, working in concert with Nickelodeon to launch the Trans Youth Acting Challenge, a program the provides education and auditioning opportunities to aspiring trans actors.
"I wanted to create an opportunity for them, to nurture them in that regard," he said of the program in a recent interview. "If I had this as a kid, it would have been…it would have changed my life."
