-He says that his first screen test EVER was for Empire.
-He auditioned for the role on a Wednesday and that night they called him and told him to get on a flight and come and sign the contract for the test deal.
-He flew out, he said it was him, Jussie and Lee and all the other different actors that would have the brothers. He said it was a bunch of actors.
-He said he made it to the end and clearly didn't get the call for the role.
-He said Lee was very comforting in the room and gave him good feedback.

I just discovered him, he's so beautiful. I think he plays for the other team tho but he's very talented and I hope he has a long career.

Would've made sense age wise bc Jamal being younger than Andre but looking at least half a decade older was messy

He probably wasn’t chosen because he wouldn’t bust it open for Lee—we know how thirsty Jussie can be for clout

Jussie was probably good casting, but Jeremy is 10x more talented than Jussie. He's a two-time Tony nominee.

I remember seeing him performing with the Ain't Too Proud To Beg crew for Thanksgiving parade. I binged watched Hollywood, thought he would've been good in Empire..
