It’s sad that the disagreement led to physicality. When you have worked in the industry for an extended period of time it’s easy to take it personal when your colleagues disagree with you. The writer more likely than not proposed that it was time for Aaron Hotchner to die leading the actor to react accordingly.
Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson are veterans while Lee Daniels is Empire‘s co-creator. There have been rumors about creative differences in the past but luckily the disagreements have not turned physical. Who knows how either actor would react to Daniels informing them that their character has to die. Things could get physical.
