According to Terrence Howard, Silver reminded him that Foster was the film’s lead star. “He said, ‘The reason your name isn’t above the titles is because you’re not the star of this thing. It’s Jodie,’ ” Howard recalled. The conversation escalated after that. Howard warned the producer, “You have to remember I’m a man just like you. If you ever talk to me that way again, I’mma knock your teeth out.”
He believes that confrontation may have later affected his career. “Then maybe eight months later, I lose Iron Man,” he said. “I’m sure that all of those things played their part.” Howard played James Rhodes in the first Iron Man film before Don Cheadle took over the role in later installments. The actor also shared advice he once received from Denzel Washington: “Producers are trying to put money in your hands, but you won’t open them.”
