Lucious Lyon will not be tamed!
Despite rumblings that the size of Terrence Howard's role in Season 2 of Fox's "Empire" would dramatically change, Access Hollywood has learned otherwise.
"Rumors that Terrence's role in 'Empire' will be scaled back are patently untrue, as audiences will see when the series returns Wednesday, September 23 on Fox," a Fox rep said in a statement to Access.
