He's also in a movie with Jodie Foster, but I can't remember the name of it. She's a radio host and she and her fiancee are brutally attacked, and her boyfriend dies. Terence Howard is the cop assigned to the case. After she physically recovers, she becomes a vigilante.

He was also in a movie about an inner-city swim team. Can't remember the name of that one. And, of course, in Mr. Holland's Opus, one of my all-time favorites.
