His next role will be as Captain Hook in the Royal Shakespeare Company's Wendy and Peter Pan from December 10.
"I've had a wonderful time playing Henrik Hanssen - he's such a weird man, but fun to play. The Holby City cast and crew have been delightful to work with," Henry said.
Show boss Simon Harper added: "His brooding, *enigmatic performance *delivered one of the truly great Holby characters."
Henrik's storylines during his time on the show have included being held hostage and fleeing to Sweden.
