Empire's Jussie Smollett & sister to star in slavery drama
Quote:
The actor will guest-star in an episode of WGN
America’s upcoming period drama series, which stars
his real life sister Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Friday Night
Lights), the network announced Wednesday.
In the one-hour drama, bravery, ingenuity and power
take center stage as slaves band together in the fight
of their lives, their families, their future and their
freedom.
Smollett will appear as Josey, a wild-eyed runaway who
doesn’t trust anyone, not even the people stationed
along the way who would try to help him. Smollett-Bell
plays the series regular role of Rosalee, a shy house
slave with a powerful inner strength and courage. X
Jurnee is gorgeous. Jussie coming for more acclaim & awards
