Juan Antonio is the actor who plays Philip on Empire. Say goodbye to Michael Sanchez and D-Major because Philip is Jamal’s new love interest on the series. Philip is a military veteran Jamal meets thanks to his PTSD support group. Philip runs the group and truly cares about Jamal’s well-being.
This isn’t Juan’s first time appearing in a series with Taye Diggs. Antonio plays Luke Wedman on the series Murder in the First. Diggs plays Terry English in the TNT drama series. Similar to Taye Diggs’ character, Angelo DuBois, Philip is special. Philip doesn’t care about Jamal’s fame, he just wants him to be happy.

Check out Twitter’s reaction to Jamal’s new lover boy:
Jamal, D-Major, and Philip bout to be a real triangle? Or a real something else? #Empire— Joshua Allen (@joshofanarchy) December 1, 2016
Nothing is off limits when it comes to Empire. Who can forget Andre’s threesome with Nessa and Rhonda’s ghost!? We guess Rhonda’s a ride or die chick forreal.
Jamal and all his men smh are you team Philip or team D-Major?? #Empire— Petty White (@squiretheknight) December 1, 2016
D-Major is cool but I can’t stand the fact that he hides his sexual preference. Jamal won’t be able to handle the mental games D-Major plays. We fell in love with Jamal’s character because of his unapologetic confidence. D-Major is a direct contradiction of Jamal’s personality and Jamal should cut him off.
Don’t miss the next episode of Empire!
