6. Jussie Smollett a.k.a. Jamal

Jussie Smollett is the name of the actor who plays Jamal on Fox’s Empire and he is one of the actors and characters who steals the show episode after episode.

Jamal’s unassuming nature compared to that of his family members makes him stand out in the sea of sharks, especially when we add Smollett’s mind-blowing musical talent into the mix.

In addition to his acting and singing abilities, Smollett can also dance and is smoking hot, regardless of anyone’s sexual preferences.

Jamal is a closeted gay man but Smollett’s female fan base has certainly grown since the show first aired. Jamal is fun to watch because he brings tenderness and honesty into the greedy family which will stop at nothing to get what it wants, and the contrast he provides is both fearless and humane at the same time, which is why Jamal is one of the most talked about characters on Empire.
