Quote#PageSix reports that #TraiByers from the hit show #Empire is ready to call it quits. An exclusive source told Page Six, "He feels that he studied at Yale and he's a 'true thespian'...The character is beneath him. He has an idea of himself as being this big Shakespearean actor.". Sources also said that at first he was excited about his role as #AndreLyon, but now he feels that he's ready for something more. He's even reported to have had a few tantrums off camera saying, 'I don't get to do enough, I might leave'. Byers is engaged to his co-star #GraceGealey who plays #AnikaCalhoun. The show is in its last week of filming and Byers is still on board. Let's see if he'll be around next season. #empirefox
I don't care if he stays or goes, don't watch the shit
"Jamal" is supposedly upset about his role and the writing done for his character as well. It's a fucking mess :dead:
he is much better than the show and he would be better off doing movies!
this show is DISGUSTING
well he is the best actor
and the least used of the 3 brothers
I guess I would still watch, but I hope he stays
Don't watch it now lolz
If he gets a lead role in something else I'd watch . Sexy self.
:justabit:
That'll be the worse decision of his life if he did that. :dead:
Like, it's TV...do other things on your hiatus. You're on a fucking hit show. Ride it out. The wave is still too high.
I would say this is his ego talking, but he is the NICEST person ever...so maybe it's behind the scenes mess...
Yea, i don't think anyone on that show is viable OUTSIDE of that show except for taraji and terrence tbfh........yet atleast. I want jussie burned at the fckn stake
He really is miles ahead of most of the cast. His acting is so good that he should be getting award nominations but his amount of screen time doesn't warrant any.
Jussie has been made the centerpiece of the show and even he's pissed about the direction of the show.
But it's only Season 2. Trai should stay on board. There is still a chance things get better.

Lee Daniels is the dummy that fired the original writing team from the first season :dead: very strange
Did he really? My classmate from highschool wrote on the first season, we were all very happy for him. I wonder if he's still there

Got success and it went to his head. The fall off writing wise rom Season 1 to 2 is astounding. It's become very Tyler Perry-esque. Hopefully he's realized his mistakes and the 2nd half of the season is better.
so thats why this season is significantly worst than the last?
wow

Nikkas kill me sometimes did u not read the script
U just tjink. U. Got leverage now and u dont. Just get ur check trai cuz as a true actor no role is beneath u if u are professional enough to. Embody it and u neveer judge a character u are to portray
Cause the character doesnt feel this way mr thespian
See if u can book more roles before u go bashing ur main income source
Trai is clearly the most gifted and disciplined actor on the show.
That's evident, however, I hope he rides it out, but I am ready for him to be able to shine and do quality work.
'Empire' ain't it....

What? Its the second season so maybe he just doesn't like the direction his character went in from season 1.
i say do the show, and get gigs on the side for NOW

!!!!THIS
The show is a hit, why give it up after only two seasons to go out there and potentially flop. Then the next time we see his ass is on a Peptol Bismol commercial. He betta SIT.

i agree with this :dead: if anything, he should campaign for more to happen with his character so he can continue to show more of a range ... but to be written OFF the show? idk.
There are plenty of men just like him out there :dead: he does NOT stand out but one advantage he does have, is being on this very show. "real actors" would kill to be on it and get the exposure
dont be dumb, Trai
I will say this.. You can tell the difference between people who are classically trained actors and those who aren't. You can tell Trai takes his craft very seriously. I do think he should ride out the show it gave him his first big break. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. I would understand if there is some kind of exclusivity clause in their contract but if not i don't see the reasoning for him bailing
yea, unless he gets a TGIT offer from Shonda n them ... stay put

Wouldn't be surprised if his character's get killed off at the end of this season.

!!!!!!!!
Idk why these gorls always get "high and mighty" and barely done shit. Like where is he going? :uhh: if you don't sit there and collect those checks and use Empire (the biggest show on tv) to elevate your career. You can do BOTH... That's nothing unusual. You never QUIT a job, without a JOB.
:udontlookok:
He did good in "Selma"
h
Even though I don't watch...he IS the best actor on the show. That includes Taraji.
I don't believe this at all.
He's fione but let his ass gone!
Tired of these niggers biting the hands that feed them before they get truly big
