With 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' slated for release next month, and having appeared in 'The Family That Preys' along with some episodic work on ABC's 'Eli Stone', Taraji P. Henson has been seen on the big and small screen this year, and now you can seen her in music videos as well.

In her return to the music scene since being featured in Common's Testify video, Henson stars along Oscar winner/ singer Jamie Foxx in his newest video from his latest single, 'Just Like Me', which also features rapper T.I . What's interesting is that the video was shot by filmmaker Bret Ratner (Rour Hour).

The song will be featured on Foxx's third album 'Intuition,' which hits stores on Dec. 16.

Henson is no stranger to the music industry. She did sing the theme song to 'Hustle and Flow' at the 2006 Oscars. I recently spoke to her regarding her appearance in the Foxx video.

Taraji P. Henson: It was so much fun working with Jamie Foxx and Bret Ratner, whom I had never worked with before. I'm looking forward to doing more work with the both of them. It was a chance for those who have seen my work to see me be really silly. I don't think my audience understands that I'm a stronger comedic actress or that I'm a comedic actress. You have seen me in more dramatic films, but in my opinion, comedy is my strongest attribute. It was a chance for me to be as silly as I want to be.

What's the story in the video about?

TPH: The song is called 'Just Like Me' and Jamie and I have been rivals since we were kids. The video opens with us as toddlers having a hot dog eating contest, and we go through these vignettes of competition. Silly competitions like a 'High Five competition' or 'The Stare Down competetion', and it goes through who wins. I win the majority of the time, but since it's his video, he has to win in the end.
