“Nobody really knew who he was, unless you watched the show,” Deraney said. “For the time being, I don’t see any other way of people seeing him and not knowing him for this.” Some of the Smollett strategy is playing out in the court proceedings, where Smollett testified he was a victim of a hate crime after two brothers said the actor recruited them to carry out the attack on him so he could publicize it via social media. Police testified they were able to corroborate the siblings’ accounts.
And separate from the trial, Smollett’s team and his family — which includes five siblings, most of whom are also actors and a mother who was active in fighting for civil rights — have been promoting both the man and his talents. Early in his acting career, Smollett starred along with his brothers and sisters in the TV series “On Our Own,” about a group of orphaned siblings, that aired for one season. He had other roles in TV and movies, including playing Langston Hughes in “Marshall,” about Thurgood Marshall, the first Black Supreme Court justice.

Accused of lying to police, Smollett takes the stand | AP NewsCHICAGO (AP) — Jussie Smollett took the witness stand Monday at his trial on charges of staging a racist, anti-gay attack on himself and lying to Chicago police about it. I hope he gets at least 1 year behind bars. Say what you want about his politics, acting wise, he is a double threat: race and homophobe baiter. I’m sure he’ll put on a heartfelt performance and make sincere eye contact with each marginalized POC in the jury. My only prayer is that the judge won’t lunge at him. ✊🏿BLM✊🏽 AlexWhittler 🤣🤣
