Lee Daniels new series “Empire” is filming season 1 in the Chicago area.
The series has been filming quite a few crowd scenes in the past weeks and has been casting many background actors. Currently, the show’s casting directors are working on a red carpet event scene and are in need of red carpet types, people who can look celebrity perfect. The show has a casting call out for male and female talent in their 20’s and 30’s who are able to dress up and look quite sharp. The scene will be filming in the Chicago area on the 21st and talent interested in the roles needs to send in a photo of them looking like they are going to a very upscale event. Check out all the submission details below.
The new FOX series will premiere this fall and focuses on a family run hip hop music business. The mogul on the hip hop throne, Lucious, will be played by Terrence Howard. As we know, life at the top is not always easy, even in a family run empire. Lucious, has a checkered past including an ex-wife who took the fall for him years ago and is now back to claim her share of the fortune. In addition, Lucious finds out that he has a terminal illness and must groom one of his 3 sons to take over for him, none of which he thinks are yet capable of taking over the reigns.
The team behind “Empire” is the same team that brought us “Lee Daniels’ The Butler“, Lee Daniels and Danny Strong. The show will be a music driven, sexy drama with an original soundtrack created by hip hop producer extraordinaire, Timbaland.

Alfreda Collins has submitted for several of these short applications. Each and everyday I check my e-mail hoping be called or e-mail. When they first posted that they needed extras, I applied right then and there. My dream is to play Taraji/Cookie’s mean mean out spoken grandmother or great aunt. On the other one of Terrance/Lucious arrogant and selfish relatives. I’m willing to accept what ever is given to me. To be apart of Empire (season two) will be a miracle and a dream come true from God. I pray and claim the part everyday. That mean aunt of Cookie’s have some serious talk for the boys/son because all of them have slight problems in life. Perhaps they all need to take the Empire very serious to be able to Run it. Thanks for reading my interest in applying, hope to hear from you soon. About me: I’m an older young looking lady. I’m an unknown stand up comedian. My character is an 86 year old lady named Ms Ona. Ms Ona sings, raps, acts and appears to be very comical. If anymore information in needed just e-mail.
