I would love to work on Empire. I am Interested in being an extra, Zack Gonzalez.
I would like to audition for the role in empire
I have experience acting in a Musical at school and I was a bartender.
I’m interested in auditioning for the TV shows based in Chicago. I’m a professional gospel-jazz sonnet. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you for the opportunity.
I think me and Jennifer Lopez and a crew of Hispanic swag should move in next door to give empire some competition. Got it in where we agree and disagree, we need our own space that would boost the ratings for sure. Think out of the box and the show is killer, just thinking out the box.
I am looking for a fresh start. I do singing and rapping. I also love to dress. I love this show and so do my mom. I am 25 and looking to live my dream whenever and whatever it takes.
I would love to be anything as small as a step stool on this show lol
I just want to start my acting career. I will take anything. My dream is to be an actor. I have it all, drama and everything.

My name is King Hunter and I am an African American teen that is interested in having an opportunity to be on Empire. It has always been my dream to be on the show ever since it aired. I am also a very good singer/actor. I have
experience in singing and acting. I Have the looks for it and I would love to work with the cast because I’m a fan.
Hi my name is Jada Ivy but I go by Nikol Star and Im 18 years old. I’m a female rap artist looking for that extra fire and window of opportunity. Empire is an amazing show. It shows the behind the scenes business of music and what it takes. I have what it takes to be featured as another artist. Give me a beat an I’ll show you what I can do. I’m always open to learning new things and trying something different. I will work hard everyday and even on days when its my day off. Working with your staff and team will teach me things about acting music I never knew and I’m ready. Not only am I an artist but also an actress. I got some experience in film but mostly theatre. So I know how to improvise on the spot. In theatre you have to be read whenever. I want to take what I know about acting and my experiences in shows and expand it. I’m the kinda of person that if you give me a challenge I might not get that same day but the next time you see me I would conquered the challenge. We take risk everyday never knowing what will happen. So take a risk with me because I wouldn’t waste your time. I would take it humble and show you the talent I have with music and acting. Thank you.
I just want to be actress on empire. I love singing and am a great singer. I just wish one day I could do a song with jussie Smollett. I am his biggest fan an I wish to act. My name as Amaliyah. I have been inspired by empire and I write songs. Really I would like to act on Empire. I am staying in south Africa in potchefstroom north west in ikageng extension 7.
I would love to help yall out! 19 college student, 5′ 11″ ethnically mixed.
Hi, my name is Alexandria Trigo. I am 20 years old, and wanna experience life! Playing a role for empire would a dream of mine. I learn real fast, and have so much character!
I am a 13 year old girl who just happens to be blessed with the talent to act and sing. I have been watching Taraji P Henson for years and she is the reason I am the actress that I am today. She taught me a lot and we do not even know each other personally. When I am acting I pay attention to a lot of things. Things like body language, body posture, facial expression, the tone of the voice, what the person is holding while they speak, emotion, are they crying, is their voice breaking up as they speak, if they are passionate about what is being said, and if the person they are speaking to is connecting with them. My main goal when I am acting is to make people feel like whatever I am going through they are going through it too. I want people to feel my pain or feel my happiness. I want people to be on the edge of their seat every time they watch me act. But I also want people to know me for me and except me for me and not the characters that I have played and the characters that i will play. I am also a person who will never keep myself in a box. What I mean by that is a lot of the time stars get so caught up in the money and they do not realize that they have played the same character their entire life they have never changed the type of roles that they play.That could never be me. The joy that i get out of acting is being able to play different roles if I cannot do that then it is not fun for me. I will never allow the industry to dictate the roles that I will play.I am in control of the characters that I play, because I am more then what they say I am.
Hi I’m Paris. I am big fan of empire and I would love to play in it as Ankia lil’ sis for season 3. I’m a big fan of cookie but it takes more to want to be on empire, it takes someone who can handle it. Empire is a intense show but that’s all. I’m Paris and I’m 13 year old. I know that young but even the teenage girl knows I’m moving to Atlanta GA or not so I hope I can be on empire please choose me I might be young to you but I have talented and I hope you actors can help me complete my full talented. I have brown hair and brown eyes and would love to learn more about Empire and acting.
