Name sound familiar? That’s because Smollett, who plays Jamal Lyon, the talented but ostracized gay son of Lucious, is the older brother of actress Jurnee Smollett. Along with their siblings Jake, Jazz, Jojo and Jocqui, Jussie and Jurnee co-starred together on the short-lived ABC show, “On Our Own.”  The show was about siblings who lose their parents and are raised by their eldest brother so that social services won’t split them up.
