FOX ‘Empire’ starring Terrence Howard casting call for extras in Chicago.
The series will focus on a hip-hop record label and has already cast Terrence Howard, Taraji P Henson and Precious alum Gabourey Sidibe, while super-producer Timbaland will provide the soundtrack.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Howard will play Lucious Lyon, the head of a record label, in the drama from The Butler‘s Daniels and Strong. Lucious is described as charismatic, tough, wise and a superstar in the music industry who oversees Empire Entertainment and is about to take the company public. Raised on the streets, he has never backed away from a fight and will resort to any measures, fair or foul, to defend his beloved Empire.”
