My Take
Terrence Howard is an actor I find impossible to ignore, even when I want to. That soft, almost whispered delivery can turn menacing or wounded within a single line, and it carried him from a minor debut in 1993 to an Academy Award nomination, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He sings, he voices animation, he theorizes eccentrically off screen — but on screen the instincts are undeniable. My take is that Howard belongs to that small club of performers whose presence is so specific that no casting director can substitute it. A complicated man, and a singular actor.
