It's no accident that actress Taraji P. Henson's performances arc electrically charged. She originally studied electrical engineering at North Carolina A&T, but today it's her acting career that has audiences buzzing.
Henson is set to star in three films by 2009. In December, she appears opposite Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in Paramount's highly anticipated The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Also set for December is Hurricane Season, in which Henson stars opposite Forest Whitaker and Lil' Wayne. And in January, she appears in Not Easily Broken with Morris Chestnut. The film is directed by Bill Duke.
