Terrence Howard in Lionsgate Films' Pride - 2007

Terrence Dashon Howard
Date of Birth: March 11, 1969
Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois

Ever since Terrence Howard landed an Oscar nomination for Hustle & Flow, he is no longer Hollywood’s best kept secret Even though he’d delivered perhaps as powerful performances in such films as Crash, Lackawanna Blues, The Best Man, and Hart’s War, the talented thespian finally now seems poised to exploit his still untapped potential.

For he already has his next nine movies lined up, starting with August Rush, a fairy tale co-starring Robin Williams and Freddie Highmore. Next comes Awake, a thriller with Jessica Alba and Hayden Christiansen. Later this year [2007], he’ll appear in Spring Break in Bosnia, no, not a teensploitation flick about Slav girls gone wild, but a political potboiler about a mission to bring a war criminal to justice.

Also on Terrence’s plate is an outing opposite Gabrielle Union in a romantic comedy called Perfect Christmas, a Jungle Fever adventure with Jodie Foster entitled The Brave One, and The Crusaders, a bio-pic where he’ll play the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.

Finally, he’s already signed to make a trio of films in 2008: Factor X, a crime saga about the recently-cracked case of the BTK killer; Iron Man, a screen adaptation of the Marvel Comics Series; and Luke Cage, another superhero fantasy, this about a wrongfully-convicted man who develops special powers, escapes, and turns into an avenging mercenary.
