His mother's family was of German /Dutch origin from Wyoming and Pennsylvania. He took Cheyne as his acting name from the town of Cheyenne, Wyoming, where his parents met, after discovering that there was already someone with his birth name in the Screen Actors Guild.
Career
During Law School, he was approached by artist, filmmaker, and photographer Steven Arnold to be photographed by him. Arnold was a venerated tableau photographer and protégé of Salvador Dalí working out of his Los Angeles photography studio and West Coast salon, Zanzibar, and at the time was designing and shooting tableau-vivants for a book. For Hank, it was a wildly propitious introduction to the early 1980s avant-garde creative scene in Los Angeles countering the more regimented curriculum of Law School.
Through a friend, he was introduced to an acting coach, Vincent Chase, who suggested that he go to an open casting for a feature editorial for GQ magazine that was being photographed by renowned fashion photographer Bruce Weber. Weber cast him and then continued to use him several more times in high-profile publications British Vogue, Italian Vogue in an editorial on Las Vegas featuring him with Christie Brinkley, and the Gianni Versace fashion campaign.
he went on to shoot with acclaimed photographers Herb Ritts, Mathew Rolston, and Fabrizio Gianni among others.
For the next two years, he juggled Law School with modeling/commercial work before graduating and passing the California Bar Exam. He received a full-time offer from the Beverly Hills law firm Ball, Hunt, Hart, Brown, and Baerwitz, of which the former Governor of California Edmund Brown was a name partner. Before committing and needing a break from seven straight years of college and grad school, he asked for and received a deferment with an open offer to return to practice law. Following commercial and print work he moved to Europe, traveling extensively, eventually living in Italy and then later Tokyo, Japan, before returning to the U.S. where he committed to pursuing a career as an actor
In 1986 he was cast to play Scott Love/Lasalle on the NBC daytime drama Another World (1964) in New York, opposite John Considine and Denise Alexander. After his two-year contract ended he chose not to renew and instead returned to California. He continued working doing lower-budget films, appearing in television guest spots and several national commercials including the Marlboro Campaign with Tony Scott directing.
