by Tim Stack
9/1/16
While Jamal (Jussie Smollett) did get shot in "Empire’s" penultimate episode last season, at least he’s gaining a super attractive new love interest at the beginning of season 3.
EW can exclusively reveal that actor Juan Antonio (Murder in the First) will play Philip, a military vet, who runs a PTSD support group Jamal attends.
Says Smollett, “It’s someone that for the first time, gives no f—s about his fame. Could not care less and not in a disrespectful way. He just genuinely is not affected by the money or the success or the fame and it’s a very, very honest relationship.”
"Empire" returns Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
