Jussie Smollett’s “Empire” screen time is getting slashed after strong rumors that he actually planned his own “attack.”
TMZ has reported that the actor and singer was originally supposed to feature in 9 scenes and a massive musical renderation in the second to the final episode which is being shot currently but, 5 of his scenes have been reduced and his musical number is dead and buried.
As for the 4 scenes that is left, TMZ said he is no longer the main attraction. The scenes is an ensemble which means he is flanked by some members of the show’s cast.
With his duties slashed in this manner, Smollett is expected to be using up less them on set.
TMZ even said instead of his normal workdays from Mon to Fri, the actor will only be at work on Friday and maybe Thursday this week and he won’t even be rehearsing.
Reduced worktime for Jamal, as he is called on “Empire.”, is the key writers need to keep on shedding light on his story.
In just one day, several angles to the story have been released.
