Forest Whitaker is taking his talents to “Empire.”
The Oscar-winning actor will appear in a multi-episode arc on the Fox drama’s fourth season.
Whitaker will play Uncle Eddie, an affable music legend who gave a young Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) his first radio spins. Decades later, Eddie reappears during Lucious’ rehabilitation, leading Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) to ask him to produce a song for the label’s 20th anniversary.
