South Carolina-native Johnny Whitworth was 20 years old when he took on the role as the art school hopeful, A.J. — who takes on a gamut of situations while employed by the Delaware record store — in the 1995 cult masterpiece, “Empire Records.”
Johnny Whitworth wasn’t the only standout in the music movie … he was cast with other rising stars like Renee Zellweger as the lusty Gina, Ethan Embry as the marijuana loving Mark … and of course, Liv Tyler as A.J.’s crush and Harvard bound Corey Mason.
Whitworth can be spotted more recently on TV shows like “The 100” and “Blindspot.”
