There is an actor in Hollywood who threatened a prank caller.  I didn’t expect this actor to do something like that.  I’ve never read anything about him causing this type of trouble before until I read about this story.

The news
A Hollywood actor threatened a prank caller recently.  Oscar nominee Terrence Howard star of Hustle & Flow and Iron Man, et al threatened a prank caller.  He found his wife’s (Michelle Ghent) phone and saw a strange number on it.  He was upset because he thought his wife was having an affair.  His wife informed him that it was a prank call. 

Terrence Howard took matters into his own hands and called the number.  He told the caller that if he ever called his wife again, he would kill him.  He continued to leave threatening messages like this on the man’s phone. Terrence Howard also left text messages on the man’s phone.

It turned out that the prank caller was NOT having an affair with his wife. In fact, Terrence Howard called the wrong number.  He ended up threatening to kill the wrong man.  Howard had to call the person back and apologize for leaving death threats on his phone.  The person who received the calls was shocked to hear someone threatening to kill him.  There’s no word on whether or not the man is going to press charges against the actor.

My thoughts
I can’t believe that Terrence Howard would do something like that. I thought it was a little funny that he threatened the wrong man.  It’s not funny that he made the threats, but the idea that he had to call the man back and let him know that he had the wrong person was a little funny to me. 

He should have thought twice about making the threatening calls.  What’s to stop the man from taking the phone to the police? He has proof that Howard left the threatening messages on his phone.  Howard should not have made those threats like that.  Does he have trust issues with his wife?  He didn’t believe that the person pranked her or he wouldn’t have threatened to kill the man.

What are your thoughts on this story? Do you think Terrence Howard did the right thing by threatening the prank caller?  Do you think Terrence Howard will suffer for making threatening calls?
