 TV One Interview With Terrence Howard
From Blacknews.COM - November 23, 2006
Silver Spring, MD - TV One offers viewers an up close and personal glimpse of one of Hollywoods leading men of the year when TV One on One host Cathy Hughes interviews Terrence Howard Sunday, Dec. 18 from 10-11 PM, repeating at 1 AM (ET).
Howard comes off the biggest year of his career to date with pundits buzzing about upcoming award season after his acclaimed starring role in independent film favorite Hustle & Flow and supporting roles in Crash, Four Brothers and Get Rich Or Die Trying.
He tells Hughes that his acting career has been greatly influenced by his great-grandmother, Minnie Gentry, a stage actress who appeared on Broadway in a production of "Lysistrata" with Sidney Poitier and later moved into films, but who may be most recognizable for the season she played Great Aunt Gramtee on "The Cosby Show." As a child, Howard spent summers with his great-grandmother and rehearsed plays with her, with Howard playing all of the other roles aside from Gentrys.
Howard also talks with Hughes about his childhood, faith, children, future aspirations, racism and recent roles in Hustle & Flow, and Crash, as well as his career-favorite roles.
When Hughes asks Howard if he would have preferred that the role that really put him on the map be something other than a pimp, which he portrayed in Hustle & Flow, Howard tells her he relished the role of DJay because they gave me an opportunity to kill a stereotype.
In a special treat for viewers, Howard, an accomplished musician, also plays the guitar and sings a song he composed at the conclusion of the interview.
The TV One on One interview with Terrence Howard will re-air Monday, Dec. 19 at noon and 2 AM and Sunday, January 1 at 8 PM.
