TERRENCE HOWARD , best known for his Academy Award-nominated performance in Hustle & Flow, is proud to be making his Broadway and stage debut in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. His love of acting stems from his grandmother, stage actress Minnie Gentry, who would be proud to see her grandson following in her theatrical footsteps. Terrence is humbled to be working with some of the same actors who knew and worked with his grandmother. His film credits include the Academy Award-winning Crash; The Brave One; August Rush; the NAACP Award-nominated Pride, which Terrence also produced; the Golden Globe and Spirit Award-nominated The Best Man; Ray; Dead Presidents; and Mr. Holland's Opus. He will next be seen in the upcoming films Iron Man and Fighting. His television credits include the Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated "Lackawanna Blues" and "Their Eyes Were Watching God." Also a self-taught musician, Terrence plays both the piano and the guitar and can be seen displaying these musical talents in his debut album, due out later this year. Terrence dedicates this performance to his great grandmother.
