His parents were Henry Seitz and Mary E Schmidt.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} He was perhaps best known for his performances as Foxy Quiller in two theatrical productions. His brother Albert S Sykes was also an actor. Sykes was born in Washington, D.C.,[3] under the name of Henry Karl August Seitz and grew up in a house where part of the Library of Congress now stands.[4] He "was a member of a famous family of actors ..."[6] Sykes' professional debut came in the 1884-1885 season[5] in a performance of The Mikado with the Ford Opera Company in Baltimore.[3] His biggest Broadway success was The Billionaires (1902-03) which had in its cast May Robson and Sallie Fisher and was the New York debut of Marie Doro.[6] His other Broadway credits included Foxy Quiller (In Corsica) (1900), Chris and the Wonderful Lamp (1900), and The Three Dragoons (1899).[7] Sykes portrayed Constable Foxy Quiller in The Highwayman, which became popular enough that it resulted in a sequel, Foxy Quiller.[8] During a party feted for Sykes and The Billionaires in Chicago, Sykes caught pneumonia, while wearing too few clothes in the dead of winter, and died at 37.[9] He was buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn New York.[10]{{Verify credibility|date=October 2018}} After his body was temporarily stored in a receiving tomb at Greenwood Cemetery, he was buried at St. James Episcopal Cemetery in St. James, New York, where his family had a summer residence for many years.[11] Sykes was married twice, to Agnes Sherwood, who died in 1896 and to actress Jessie Wood.[12]{{Verify credibility|date=October 2018}} References1. ^[https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026749/1904-02-28/ed-1/seq-25/#date1=1903&sort=relevance&rows=20&words=JEROME+Jerome+SYKES+Sykes&searchType=basic&sequence=0&index=19&state=&date2=1904&proxtext=jerome+sykes&y=15&x=19&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=3 The Washington Times]; Sunday February 28 1904; STAGELAND FAVORITES WHO ARE NATIVES OF WASHINGTON 2. ^American and British Theatrical Biography p.895 c.1979 by J.
