From 2015 to 2019, Smollett achieved mainstream recognition portraying musician Jamal Lyon in the Fox drama series Empire, one of the network's most-watched shows of that era. In January 2019, Smollett reported being the victim of a hate crime in Chicago, but police later determined he had staged the attack with two acquaintances. He was initially charged with filing a false police report; charges were dropped after he completed community service and forfeited $10,000. A special prosecutor re-indicted him in 2020, and he was convicted on five counts in December 2021, sentenced to jail in March 2022, though he was released after six days. The sentence was upheld on appeal in 2023, but the Illinois Supreme Court reversed the conviction in 2024 on the basis that he had fulfilled the original 2019 plea agreement. Born under the sign of Cancer, Smollett carries life-path number 11, traditionally linked to intuitive and visionary traits [F1, birth fact].
