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., under the name of Henry Karl August Seitz and grew up in a house where part of the Library of Congress now stands. He "was a member of a famous family of actors ..." Sykes was married twice, to Agnes Sherwood, who died in 1896 and to actress Jessie Wood.
