Career
Smollett first got a job in New York City when he was a child. From there, he became an extra in films like "Mo' Better Blues" (1990) and "New Jack City" (1991), which were shot in New York. He got parts in the films "The Mighty Ducks" (1992) and "North" (1994). From 1994 to 1995, he starred on the ABC sitcom "On Our Own" with all five of his real-life brothers.
He stayed out of the public eye until 2012, when he played the main character, Magnus, in the LGBTQ love comedy-drama "The Skinny" (2012). He was a guest star on an episode of "The Mindy Project" in the same year, and he was in an episode of "Revenge" in 2014. Then, in 2014, Smollett got the part of Jamal Lyon on the Fox drama "Empire." Jamal is a gay singer whose family works in the music business. On the show, Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard were also on the cast. He was on the show in seasons 1 through 5, but the last two episodes of the fifth season didn't have him because of the "attack" issue he was involved in at the time. He was also in the show "Underground," which stars his younger sister Jurnee Smollett, while he was on "Empire."
Smollett has also tried to make a career out of singing, in addition to acting. "The Poisoned Hearts Club" was his first EP, which came out in 2012. Then, in 2015, he said that Columbia Records had signed him to a recording deal. "Sum of My Music" was his first studio record. It came out in 2018 on his own label, Music of Sound. Smollett also wrote some original songs for his show "Empire," like "I Wanna Love You" and "You're So Beautiful," which are on the record "Original Soundtrack from Season 1 of Empire" (2015).
