According to reports, longtime actor Terrence Howard has just about called it a career as he announced plans to retire from the trade to make room for the next generation. 

“I asked Sidney Poitier 10 years ago does he want to do any more work, and he said, ‘Why would I spend my last 10 years doing an impersonation of myself?’ And that’s what I’ve gotten to.” Howard shared with Entertainment Tonight. 

Howard said he’s more intrigued by the new crop of actors. “I’ve gotten to the point where now I’ve given the very best that I have as an actor. Now I’m enjoying watching other new talent come around, and I don’t want to do an impersonation of myself.”
