Terrence Alan Crews (born July 30, 1968) is an American actor, voice actor and a former American football player. After several years playing pro football, Crews retired and pursued an acting career, which took flight on the big screen in 2000's ''The 6th Day''. Many film roles have followed, among them those in ''Film/WhiteChicks'', ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}'', ''Film/TheExpendables'' (2010), and its sequels and ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}''. Crews has also found success on the small screen, having roles on ''Film/AreWeThereYet'' and ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''. He might be best known for playing [[TheDanza Sgt. Terry Jeffords]] on the police WorkCom ''Series/BrooklynNineNine''.

But his most famous work among the Internet users is a [[Advertising/TheManYourManCouldSmellLike series of Old Spice commercials]] (directed by Creator/TimAndEric), where Crews goes full LargeHam, proving that AwesomenessIsVolatile by appearing in more and more bizarre commercials. As an actor, Crews has an indeniable comedic talent, which, coupled with his tough guy appearance, makes him one of the most hilarious actors in Hollywood, but Terry has some serious roles to his credit, such as portraying a ScaryBlackMan in ''Film/{{Gamer}}'', giving one of the most chilling performances in his entire career.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Most of his roles show off his physique at one point or another. Or the whole time.

** And he managed to assemble a computer for his son that, while apparently not working at first, turned out to be fine because he only forgot to connect the power switch cable to the motherboard.

Terry answered with a very cold ''no'' and walked off with his family in tow. Said fan proceeded to air her greviences on Twitter, and got quickly shot down by Terry. She’s just lucky Terry’s the tranquil fury type, or said fan would probably be in jail (or worse, a hospital) instead. [[/note]]

* TranquilFury: See PapaWolf above. If Terry Hadn’t been this trope’s type, said fan would have received much, much more than a cold “Um, No”.

* PlayingAgainstType: In a way, his whole career is this. He's a former pro athlete, built like a tank on steroids, and can play a ScaryBlackMan with the best of them. You would think that he would primarily play action roles or be a serious character. Instead, his best known roles are comedic and hammy.
