Here's Why the Uncle From Split Looks So Damn Familiar

Updated on Jan 19, 2017 at 12:00 PM

Coming out of an insane movie like Split, there's a lot to puzzle through. M. Night Shyamalan's latest film is riddled with mystery, between the arrival of "The Beast," the 24th personality of Kevin (James McAvoy), and even the actual location of his surreptitious hideaway. Here's a conundrum we didn't quite expect, though: who the hell plays Casey's uncle? He doesn't appear in any of the trailers, but he plays a significant part in the film itself. The actor's name is Brad William Henke, and it turns out you've had plenty of opportunities to see him in the past, including one very big TV role just this past year.

Orange Is the New Black

Orange Is the New Black's Desi Piscatella is Henke's most recent and arguably most recognizable role yet. He pops up in season four as the sinister new Litchfield Penitentiary correctional officer who's not taking sh*t from anyone.

Must Love Dogs

Henke played Leo in 2005's Diane Lane-starring romantic comedy.

Sherrybaby

You may also remember him from the 2006 drama Sherrybaby, costarring Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Dexter

Henke also had a four-episode arc on Dexter's first season as Tony Tucci.

October Road

Surprise, Henke has already been on a show with Orange Is the New Black's Laura Prepon! The two starred together in the 2007 series October Road.

Lost

Any Lost fan should remember Henke's character, Bram, as one of Jacob's followers who is (spoiler alert) eventually killed by the island's monster.
