Terrence Dashon Howard (born March 11, 1969) is an Academy Award-nominated American film and stage actor. Having appeared in film and on television since the late 1980s, Howard had his first major role in the 1995 film Mr. Holland's Opus, which subsequently led to a number of roles in films and high visibility among African-American audiences. Howard broke into the mainstream with a succession of well-reviewed television and film roles between 2004 and 2006, among them Ray, Lackawanna Blues, Crash, Four Brothers, Hustle & Flow, Get Rich or Die Tryin', and Idlewild. He is also the grandson of actress Minnie Gentry, who Terrence Howard credits inspired him to begin acting.

Early life

Howard was born in Chicago, Illinois, but raised in Cleveland, Ohio, to multiracial parents (both of whom were of mixed African American and Caucasian descent), which he has said led to experiences of racism throughout his childhood. His version of one highly publicized incident known as "the Santa Line Slaying" is disputed.

Education

Howard was working on a degree in Chemical Engineering from Pratt Institute in New York when he was discovered.

Film career

His big film break came in his role in 1995's Mr. Holland's Opus. He has continued landing television and movie roles and co-starred as "Greg Sparks" in the late-1990s television series Sparks with James L. Avery, Sr. and Miguel A. Nunez Jr. Howard also appeared in Ashanti's music video for her 2002 single "Foolish" and in Mary J. Blige's video for "Be Without You".

Howard has a long-standing reputation in the African-American community as a solid acting talent who often portrays provocative, even frightening characters, such as Cowboy in Dead Presidents or the memorable Quentin in The Best Man. Though he has recently gained popularity in films like Hustle & Flow (for which he also rapped), Crash, and Four Brothers, he stands out as a modest actor who insists on sharing the spotlight with his co-stars.

In 2005, he received both Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for his role in Hustle & Flow. In July 2006, Howard was cast opposite Richard Gere and Jesse Eisenberg in Spring Break in Bosnia, a comic thriller in which he will play a cameraman in Bosnia; the film will be released in 2007.

As of October 10, he has been cast as Jim Rhodes in the big screen adaptation of the Marvel Comics Superhero Iron Man.

It has been announced that he will re-team with "Hustle & Flow" director Craig Brewer for a movie based on the life of Country Music legend Charley Pride. Howard who plays guitar and is a fan of Country Music will star as Pride.

Personal life

Howard was married to Lori McCommas for 14 years and they have 3 children. The pair divorced in 2003 and remarried in 2005, but have since separated again. He has two daughters,and one son; Aubrey, Heavenly, and Hunter. Howard has been romantically linked to former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres and "Hustle & Flow" co-star Taraji P. Henson. Both of these rumors have been disputed.

Recently Howard was rumored to be romantically linked to Naomi Campbell. Howard's has attempted to put an end to this rumor by stating in a Philadelphia newspaper that he only reached out to Naomi and he is not dating her.
