Here are a couple of actors who have a connection to Howard, but aren't widely considered "famous":
* Phylicia Rashad: She's a celebrated actress, known for her role as Clair Huxtable in "The Cosby Show," but she didn't actually graduate from Howard. She was a student there, but later transferred to the University of Connecticut.
* Taraji P. Henson: She has spoken about attending Howard for a short period, but she eventually transferred to North Carolina A&T State University, where she graduated.
It's worth noting that Howard has a strong tradition in theater and performing arts, so it's likely that some of its alumni have pursued acting careers, but not necessarily achieved widespread fame.
Instead of focusing on actors, Howard University is renowned for its alumni in other fields, including:
* Politics: Alcee Hastings, Kamala Harris, and Vernon Jordan
* Civil Rights: Thurgood Marshall, Charles Hamilton Houston, and Whitney M. Young Jr.
* Music: Roberta Flack, Duke Ellington, and N.E.R.D.
* Literature: Toni Morrison, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston
So, while Howard University might not have a long list of famous actors, it's definitely a powerhouse for producing influential figures in a wide range of fields.
