The Resume

    (June 21, 1982- )
    Portrayed Jamal Lyon on 'Empire' and Jesse Jerrico on 'On Our Own'
    Appeared in the films 'The Mighty Ducks' and 'North'
    Brother of Jurnee Smollett

Why he might be annoying:

    He cries easily; a trait he attributes to his astrological sign.
    He used the slang term 'nucca' frequently on his Twitter account.
    He has the equality sign for gay rights tattooed on his arm.
    'On Our Own', a show he starred in with his siblings, lasted just one season.
    Questions arose over whether he was the victim of a hate crime (including being called racist & homophobic slurs, having a noose tied around his neck, and having bleach thrown on him), or, if he orchestrated the attack with two extras from 'Empire' as a publicity stunt (2019).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He scored a deal with Columbia Records based on his 'Empire' performance.
    His father died from cancer the day 'Empire' premiered.
    He's interested in philanthropy and fighting for social justice.
    He's worked with numerous charitable organizations.
