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', Idlewild, and most recently, Iron Man.

Howard, who lives outside Philadelphia in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania,[1] was married to Lori McCommas for 14 years.[5] The couple has three children: two daughters (Aubrey and Heaven) and a son (Hunter). Howard and his wife divorced in 2003 and remarried again in 2005, but have since separated. Press reports have since noted that Howard is "trying to reunite" with his wife, and that he has stated that he is "chasing after" her.[2] His wife is a Jehovah's Witness,[6] a faith within which she is raising their children. In an interview with NPR, he explains his desire to convert to the Witnesses. He is a self-taught guitarist and pianist.[2] Howard has described physics as his "main love" and has expressed interest in completing his education and obtaining a doctorate.
