Billy Cosby Blacklisted Terrence Howard
Terrence Howard said he was so angry over being cut from a part in "The Cosby Show" that he confronted the program's famous star to vent his frustration - only to find himself briefly blacklisted in the entertainment business.
"I was 19 and had just moved to New York from Cleveland, I got on 'The Cosby Show' on my second audition ever," Howard said, according to WENN.
He explains: "I told him, 'I'm a man just like you.' He didn't like it, and the casting agent never took my calls again."
Howard says he didn't work for four years, but eventually bounced back to launch a successful acting career - landing an Academy Award nomination in 2006 for his role in "Hustle & Flow."
