The thought of having Washington on board the hip-hop “Dynasty” would be epic, to say the least. Chatting with The Philadelphia Inquirer, Daniels revealed he and Washington are currently discussing the potential for Washington to join the series, stating, “Denzel hasn’t done television in 30 years. But he saw the pilot and said, ‘I’ve got to be a part of this.”

Should Daniels succeed, Washington would be in very good company among “Empire” guests stars as the series boasts Kravitz, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Naomi Campbell, Raven-Symoné, Macy Gray, Courtney Love and Foxy Brown, among those who either have appeared on the Fox show or are on deck to appear.

Adding to the guest list, Daniels confirmed that legendary vocalist Patti LaBelle will be on “Empire,” with an Instagram picture he posted of he and LaBelle along with the following tease:
