In press release:
HOLLYWOOD, CA (Feb. 25, 2016) – Alvin “Xzibit” Joiner will be guest starring in the FOX smash EMPIRE.
He was cast as “Leslie ‘Shyne’ Johnson” who is 100% wolf and 100% gangster. He’s managed artists, started record imprints, and even sold a few units here and there, but his bread and butter has always been – much to his years-long frustration – drugs, guns and extortion. Feeling shut out by the other heavy hitters in the music industry, he carries a big chip on his shoulder—especially for Lucious.
Xzibit is a multi-platinum rapper, actor and producer, his notable feature credits include Werner Herzog’s BAD LIEUTENANT opposite Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes, Sony Pictures’ GRIDIRON GANG opposite Dwayne Johnson and XXX: STATE OF THE UNION opposite Ice Cube and Samuel L. Jackson for Columbia. He recently recurred on the CBS series HAWAII FIVE-O and starred in Nat Geo’s Emmy-nominated feature SEAL TEAM SIX.
Xzibit is represented by Primary Wave and Don Buchwald & Associates, Inc.
EMPIRE returns on Wednesday, March 30 at 9pm ET/PT on FOX.
