*Taraji P. Henson has already mentioned that her Empire character Cookie will have two new love interests next season – and one may have just been announced.

“Magic Mike XXL” and “CSI: Miami” star Adam Rodriguez has joined the Season 2 cast of Fox’s breakout show as a recurring guest star — who just might be in position to “take these Cookies.”

Rodriguez will play “Laz Delgado,” a smooth-talking concert promoter with expert hustler skills. Laz is a native New Yorker and former EMT who takes an interest in Cookie.

The actor joins previously announced guest stars, including Chris Rock, Lenny Kravitz, Alicia Keys, and Ne-Yo.

Rodriguez, who now recurs on NBC’s medical drama “The Night Shift,” will next be seen in “Magic Mike XXL” opposite Channing Tatum and Joe Manganiello.
