Jada, who plays Fish Mooney on the hit FOX show, revealed during PaleyFest that she showed up to the audition in character.

He was shirtless and had “LIAR” scrawled across his forehead in lipstick. “I said, ‘Forget it, instead of talking about who Fish Mooney is, let me just show you,'” said Pinkett Smith. “I went method.” Thus, a monster was born.”
