Andre Lyon was the centre for the police brutality storyline and Rodriguez talked to The Hollywood Reporter that with a show "Empire" it could have been anyone.
"But Cookie's already been through the system. ... Lucious, obviously, has, for the most part, built this empire operating still on the fringes of abiding by the law, so that could have been a way to do it. Hakeem in season one, he peed in the restaurant. So they've all had their brushes [with the law]. Jamal flirted with the dark side of life in season one but he gets shot, so we don't want to just put these dudes through whatever," Rodriguez said.
He added that they when they looked at Andre, he was the right choice for this storyline as he did his things the right way.
He teased what is in store for Andre in "Empire" Season 3, episode 3.
"I think that in life, we can all point to one incident, right? And that's not true, sometimes it's usually a series of incidents that get us to this one place, but we all tend to point to the one thing, the one fork in the road, the one catalyst for change in our lives. We want to see if Andre is gong to consider this a catalyst or if he played by the rules? "No, no, no, everything that I've been through to this point has worked fine for me," but has it, bro? So, we are excited to see viewers' reaction to how Andre reacts to what just happened to him. Again, we felt like Andre was the perfect one through which to tell this story, and so we're having fun with it."
