Lucious Lyon’s lawyer on Empire is played by actor Andre Royo.  Many remember Royo as Bubbles, The Wire’s recovering heroin addict.

Royo is an actor who is always making a statement, from Thirsty to Bubbles. The Wire gave us an opportunity to see exactly how talented the actor is while Empire shows us a lighter side of Royo.

Royo was born in the Bronx, New York on July 18, 1968.  Royo is of African American and Cuban heritage.  This has led numerous casting directors to inform the talented actor that he is either not black enough or not Latino enough for particular roles.

Royo does not only act he is also a producer and writer.  Royo’s family includes two beautiful ladies, his wife and daughter:
