 For most actors, taking on a role in a comic book film adaptation is a risk, because of not only its pulpy roots, but it’s potential pigeonholing that could result from its success as a tent-pole franchise. When asked about if he felt acting in a superhero film limited him in anyway, Howard asserts that the undertaking only adds to his range as a performer. “Every single one has a different effect on you,” Terrence claims, “Doing a play every night, the audience is different. The audience, some will laugh right here, and others they’ll applaud. When one other person comes in and you get used to waiting for their applause, we’re used to waiting for the laugh. Sometimes, you’ll tie into a giggle or a chuckle or a silence and all of a sudden, there’s laughter and you’re used to there being silence there or that is your transition and you got to use something else. And you end up floating a lot. There’s a lot of floating, emotional floating going on.” One particular aspect that the actor found intriguing about Jim Rhodes is the unique relationship with Tim Stark, the real persona of Iron Man, and how oppositely paralleled their worlds are. “Both of them have been indoctrinated according to a specific dogma,” he notes, “Rhody, through his father and grandfather and the years they spent in the military. You know, honor service to country above everything else. Tony, service to self, which is above everything else, which he learned from his father, which in turn, he learned from his father. And the class of the two worlds between having service to others and having people serve you. That right there, where we stand is the seeds from there, two apples rolling down from a hill.” However, Howard also notes that as seemingly disparate the worlds of Rhody and Tony are, there’s ultimately an undercurrent of commonality between the two men over the course of the film. “Tony seems to be in the league, but because Tony has it, the grass is cut where Tony has traveled, but the pavement I’ve gone across is concrete now, because it’s been trotted down by soldiers for many years,” Terrence explains, “So when we take root and we’re both trying to grow in the same space, eventually, because we’re so close to each other, we’re going to intertwine. And we’ve all seen those trees when it’s two trees growing right next to each other and they intertwine and become one beautiful, beautiful tree. “That will happen, but initially, the roots battle each other, but we share the same sunlight, the same food, and ultimately, Tony gets a burst of light that I’ve never seen before,” he continues, “He recognizes the need to take care of humanity as a whole and not service the country or borders. We have a responsibility with the ... |
