Career

From 1992 to 1996, Henson played Fulton Reed in all three films in The Mighty Ducks trilogy: The Mighty Ducks, ' and '. He told TV Guide that he owes "a lot of career" to those films. "What's funny is I still, more than anything, get recognized for The Mighty Ducks. I love it. When I was younger, I would get embarrassed. I played sports growing up and I'd be playing baseball and the other team would be quacking at me and stuff. I love those movies. I feel like these things come once in a lifetime and to experience this stuff as a kid and as an adult, I just feel really lucky."
Since 2015, Henson has portrayed Foggy Nelson in the Netflix television series Daredevil. Henson spoke of his excitement for Foggy's role in the series, saying "I was really excited as I was getting the scripts and reading that Foggy wasn't just a useless sidekick. He's not just comic relief. I mean, he is some of those things. He does have comic relief, but it was exciting to know that these other characters would have their own path and their own things that they're dealing with." During the audition for the role of Foggy Nelson that was organized as a conference call, Elden Henson held his phone the wrong way, appearing upside down in the video, which convinced the show's executives he was the right man for the part. In addition to Daredevil, Henson has also portrayed Foggy in the crossover miniseries The Defenders and a cameo appearance in season 2 of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.
