Terrence Howard on "Cat..." Gossip

http://www.perezhilton.com/

"Tough thing about Broadway is eight shows a week. It's slavery. That needs to be adjusted. It's wrong. Actors work three years straight sometimes with one day off. This exhaustion puts you into depression. Like today [Wednesday] it's two shows. I have to put makeup on, take makeup off. Not like in movies with whole departments to fluff and puff you. In between performances, I have to study with my son, who's taking Bible and guitar. And we're filming this play for the archives. Come 7:30, I have to take another look at the script, get into the mind-set again, then sign autographs, pose for photos with fans and thank them for their attention and for coming. Monday, your one day off, you have to cram in all your meetings and appointments and the rest of your whole life, and hope you can survive on Benadryl. I love what I'm doing. No cameraman's saying, 'Stand here . . . look there.' It's not all done in five-minute takes. Your work has to be inside you. You push beyond your comfort zone. Broadway is an actor's revenge. I couldn't do Broadway again if it's more than five a week. I'd just say no. N-O. Not doing it. I'm not saying it has to be my way. I'm saying they can get somebody else. I always listen. If your point is right, then I will make adjustments. It's not arrogance. It's just that I have to live with me the rest of my life."

The title should be: Terrence Howard is a Cry-Baby.

Okay Terrence. Let me try and feel sorry for you... no? mmkay.

I mean I understand how it would be difficult for people to go from doing films to Broadway, but at the same time Anika and Phylicia have done both back and forth.

He's an idiot.

He was the biggest disapointment in Cat. Well, aside from the direction.

He couldn't stand the heat.

He exited the kitchen.

Good riddance.

Lets move on.

Wow. You were telling the truth.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he is "pissing" on Broadway since he has been "pissing" on everything else he touches lately.

Typical man. Women have been juggling career and family for YEARS. Let a man have to juggle a part-time job, ONE child, and a few errands...and he can't handle it.

He's a waste.

Good riddance, Terrence. The live theatre is better off without you, with your inability to effectively create and portray a character or even attempt to project. Hack.

No wonder I couldn't understand a word he said for the whole first act. It was a Wednesday night, clearly when he cares even less than on a one show day.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
( I wonder, one: If it's true
tow: If Marian Seldes read this!?)

Is he the only one that misses performances? If I see this on Sunday, do you think he or anyone else will be out? Thanks.

Though he is indeed whining, his point-of-view is shared by numerous actors who have started on the stage and would NEVER return due to that 'crazy 8 performances a week schedule". This has also kept some actors from making their Broadway debuts.

Richard Gere, Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand are just a trio of actors who have said that they would NEVER return to the stage due to this schedule. Queen Latifah has stated that this is what has kept her away from making her Broadway debut.
