Comment: I love to see him in movies. But most of the time he's playing a bad guy. Except for The Four Brothers he was a good guy. But I still love him!!! I really liked him in The Best Man (that's one of my most favs). I didn't know as a child he was deaf for a minute (I read it in Essence earlier this year). He said that's why he's always staring directly into peoples mouths because he would read their lips.

Comment: Well, i myself admire Terrence Howard. he's a brilliant actor and i hope one day he will get the Oscar he deserves. i love his way of really fitting into a character he portrays in that time period. when he played in Lackawanna Blues, he put me in the mind of the old photos my mama and daddy had of them from back in the day when they were young. so whatever role Terrence Howard plays, he's a perfect fit for it. you go man!

Comment: It can't be denied that Terrence Howard is a wonderful actor. I just need him to step way out of the box and do something different. He seems to always play some slick character and I'm tired of seeing him do that. He was slick in "The Best Man," "Lackawanna Blues," "Idlewild," "Hustle and Flow;" I just want to see him really step out. I liked who he was in "Crash," but even in "Four Brothers" there was a slickness to him even as a good guy. I am definite he's on his way to getting his Oscar though. And though it's pointless to comment on because white folks don't recognize our films, he definitely deserved an award for the character he played in The Best Man. He was excellent in that.

Comment: Barbaraodom9, that mess doesn't have anything to do with the fact that Terrence Howard is a fine and talented actor. I'm pleased that someone of his caliber has been chosen to portray
Thurgood. He will give the role the depth that it deserves.
As for his personal life, if you don't have any solid evidence, you are just repeating ugly rumors.
As for Martin Luther King, Jr., history has shown that his dalliances were with women, not Bayard Rustin.

Comment: ...and he continued to be FIONE! LOL! I thought I read in that Essence article that he would stare like that because he experienced some kind of paralysis in his face that was unexplained when he was a teenager...but that it went away.

Comment: Terrence Howard is a serious actor who would also shine on stage as well, especially in an August Wilson epic. He reminds me of Jeffrey Wright, another phenomenal brotha who does not get enuf respect. (He was also in
"Lackawanna...")
One of the best movies I have seen Howard in is "Lackawanna Blues" - this is an EXCELLENT portrayal of Black love, commitment and community.

Comment: I hate the fact that his father instilled in him that his own people were not to be trusted, when in fact his dad went to jail because he killed a white man who was beating him down because he thought his dad was a white man with a black women and kids.

Comment: Who said his father instilled that in him? Terrence Howard is a natural when it comes to depicting black culture/men. He has the aura and looks to boot!

Comment: Co sign clotel. Jeffrey Wright played that mildly crazy man in Lackawanna Blues - he's had several notable roles. One where he played a hispanic and the hispanic community hit the ceiling but the movie was a hit anyway - I can't remember the name, just that this is another slept on brother in hollywierd.

Comment: McNasty> he played a hispanic in Shaft with Samuel Jackson. He was too much, he had this certain sway when he walked, and his hairline was totally different from when he played Martin Luther King in "Boycott" I didn't even recognize him. My brother had to tell me who he was. He was good in both movies.

Comment: Deb70, I agree! Terrence brought life to The Best Man. It was really just another typical, boring movie until his character showed up. I found myself screaming "More! More!"
I think he's well beyond supporting Jodie Foster (washed up one trick pony) and Richard Gere (overrated and unlikable).
But, such is Hollywood. Their obvious racism is starting to look more and more like fear everyday.
As for great Black actors, if you haven't already, check out the 4400, there is a Black actor on there who plays a character named "Richard" (sorry, don't know his real name) he is brilliant!

Comment: The article said Terrence will be in a supporting role, thats funny. Every movie I have seen him in his character steals the spotlight. His roles in Crash and even The Best Man were supporting but so imporant.

Comment: Hey Bookman: I was referring to McNasty question. He wasn't sure what movie Jeffery Wright played in, when he played a hispanic and I said the movie Shaft.

Comment: I can't wait to see Terrence Howard play Thurgood Marshall.. finally some good movies that have compelling stories. I would like to see Terrence do something with Denzel or Larry Fishburne.... they are all powerful actors!!!!

Comment: What does he mean he let his wife go? In Essence, he talked about how long it took him to get back in after the first falling out. I don't care what anyone says, B's performance on the BET Awards left him starstruck and well on his way back out the door.
That said, he's still my boy.

Comment: I thought he was her high school sweetheart!
Also, all of this type away from home on set can create problems within a marriage/relationship. I guess it's a trade off.

Comment: I like Terrence Howard. He's come a long way from bit parts in sitcoms and dramas and little known movies like "Sunset Park" and "Butter." Glad to know he's receiving his due. I agree with the other posters who wrote it's time for Jeffrey Wright to receive his due. He has been amazing in everything I've seen him in. ====> bigchassie and gingerg...Daniel Craig is the British actor who has been chosen to take over the 007 role. The main reason Bond fans were/are in an uproar is because they wanted the next 007 to match the description the creator of the series, Ian Fleming, established, which is tall, dark-haired, and ruggedly handsome. Craig is average height, blond, and not very attractive so Bondites are losing their minds. Despite that, old boy is a good actor. Check him out in a British flick called "Layer Cake."

Comment: Speaking of Jeffrey Wright - he IS one of the most under rated actors out there. If anyone saw HBO's "Angels in America", he played a gay male nurse. I hardly recognzied him. That's the sign of a great actor. Jeffrey becomes the character he playing. He should have an Oscar one day.
