Best known for her charm and undeniably witty humor, Taraji P. Henson has been a consistent face in Hollywood for over 20 years. She attended North Carolina A&T but eventually transferred to Howard University, where she graduated in 1995.

On the big screen the D.C. native stole our hearts in the hood classic “Baby Boy” (2001) and has subsequently starred in over 15 movies since. The Oscar nominated actress made her return to television in 2011 as Officer Joss Carter in the CBS drama, “Person of Interest”.  She is gearing up for the release of her new film, “No Good Deed”, in theaters April 25th and the highly anticipated romantic comedy, “Think Like A Man Too” (June 2014).
