smollett revealed that he formed a bond with daniels and felt that because the character is loosely based on lee daniels own life, "whoever was going to play jamal had to be able to bond with lee because at the end of the day, jamal is so close to lee's heart that you had to tell it the way that he was truthful." jamal's character development has been influenced by michael corleone of the 1972 film "the godfather". danny strong went on to say of the character's change throughout season one, "[w]e always had this michael corleone-esque arc planned for [jamal] where we were going to see, over the course of the season, him slowly start to turn into this father. that’s ultimately why his father chooses to make him the heir. because he, at the end of the day, is the most like him." ilene chaiken stated that jamal has always been "a michael corleone character". she continued, "[w]e want to see him rise to the occasion, surprise everyone by being the most cunning, the most gangster at the end of the day." lee daniels also thought that having jamal's character arc being influenced by michael defied "the stereotypical gay man up against something, and being a victim". he replied of the character, "he is (the godfather’s) michael corleone, and he is his father’s son."
