Howard's acting career began nearly a decade before "The Best Man," and before audiences got acquainted with his eccentric Quentin Spivey character, some may have first seen him in a few episodes of the classic soap opera "All My Children." He also famously portrayed Jackson 5 singer Jackie in the "The Jacksons: An American Dream" TV biopic. Howard's other '90s roles include brief guest appearances on "Living Single," "Family Matters," and "New York Undercover." He also starred in "Dead Presidents" with Tate and Chris Tucker and "The Players Club" with Calhoun, Jamie Foxx, and Lisa Raye McCoy.
