Nia Long is slated to join the cast of Fox’s hit series, Empire, for its third season. According to Deadline, Long will play Giuliana (Giusi), a queenpin who runs a club in Las Vegas and makes brash moves in the gangster underworld of New York to secure a deal with Empire. Sleek, sexy, and cold-blooded, she rubs elbows with Lucious (Terrence Howard) and goes toe-to-toe with Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) even as she reckons with her own mysterious past.
Long, who recently starred on the short-lived ABC’s Uncle Buck, will also appear in a recurring role in Netflix’s Dear White People. She was last seen on the big screen in the comedy film Keanu.
Long is another member of The Best Man who will be on fellow castmate Terrence Howard’s show. Taye Diggs is already on the program as Angelo Dubois, a city councilman looking to woo Cookie (played by Taraji P. Henson).
