In 2015, Henderson was cast in the male lead role opposite Christine Evangelista in the E! drama series The Arrangement.[19] Henderson portrayed Kyle West, one of the hottest actors in Hollywood.

Legal issues
editOn December 12, 2018, LA police arrested Henderson on suspicion of having broken into his neighbor's house earlier that day. The neighbors allegedly identified Henderson with two other men on surveillance footage taken during the reported crime.[23] TMZ reported that Henderson had an airtight alibi for the night of the robbery at his neighbor's home, as he provided security footage that allegedly shows he never left his apartment.[24] On December 19, 2018, the LAPD dropped charges against Henderson due to insufficient evidence.[25]
