Terrence took time out of his hectic acting schedule to speak with GlobalGrind about his new TV role, his fashion sense, and his love for music. Check out the exclusive interview below!   

GlobalGrind: You're an established film actor, why the move to TV?

Terrence Howard: It used to be that 40 - 30 years ago television was a place where film actors went to die. That's not the case anymore some of the better programming and some of the better writing is actually on television and cable these days. You have to continue to grow with the industry. You cannot become extinct by extinct thoughts by antiquated ideas. What I have learned by the characters that I have played in my life all of them have added up to who I'm playing now with Jonah Decker, but it has also giving me the opportunity while in the process of filming this I have been able to do 3 other movies.

What have you learned about the justice system that surprised you? 

Well, you know learning that most of these criminal cases especially that deal with homicide they go on for 5-6 months not 2-3 weeks judicial process that is supposedly to be speedy that's speedy to them. You can end up sitting in jail for 6 months waiting for an arraignment. There are a lot of things that can take place. I used to think that it benefited a suspect to talk to the police or the DA to get the information out even if you are 100% in the right utilize when they read the Miranda to you listen to it,  you do not say anything to anyone except your lawyer. Something you may say might create circumstantial suspicion that may cause you a great deal of problems and sense the world is based on perception not based on reality perception can ruin your life. So you know you have to be very smart and utilize what the government and judicial system has set in place to protect you even for yourself.
