Early in his career, Hull appeared frequently on Broadway; he created the role of Jeeter Lester in the long-running play Tobacco Road (1933), based on the novel by Erskine Caldwell.
Hull appeared in 74 films between 1917 and 1966, often playing supporting characters like the uncle of Tyrone Power's love interest Nancy Kelly in Jesse James (1939). He appeared as Charles Rittenhouse, a wealthy industrialist in Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat (1944). Two other notable roles were as Abel Magwitch in the 1934 version of Great Expectations and in the last film of veteran director Tod Browning, Miracles for Sale (1939). He also appeared in the Werewolf of London in 1935.
In 1955, Hull appeared as a college professor forced to retire at sixty-five in an episode of CBS's sitcom, Meet Mr. McNutley, later renamed The Ray Milland Show. He also guest starred on CBS's Appointment with Adventure and John Payne's NBC western series, The Restless Gun. In 1960, Hull appeared on Bonanza, portraying a scout for General John Charles Fremont (who in real life was the grandfather of Hull's wife). In 1961, Hull played an elderly man befriended by a young outlaw, portrayed by James Coburn, in NBC's The Outlaws.
Hull's last film was The Chase (1966) with Marlon Brando and Robert Redford.
Hull had at least two brothers who were involved in the theater. Shelley Hull was a popular leading man, in fact more popular than Henry, and would have become a well known actor had he not died in 1919 during the Spanish Influenza epidemic. Shelley was married to Josephine Sherwood who later became a well known movie character actress under her late husband's surname Hull. Hull's other brother Howard Hull was also an actor and is the lesser known but oldest of the three brothers. He was married until his death in 1937 to stage star Margaret Anglin.
