Bryshere Gray -- famous for playing Hakeem Lyon on "Empire" -- has been busted in Arizona for domestic violence.

We've learned Bryshere was arrested early Monday morning in Goodyear, just outside Phoenix, after a standoff with a SWAT team and crisis negotiators, and he allegedly beat the hell outta his wife ... according to cops.

Goodyear PD says officers responded to a call to assist a woman at 10:15 PM Sunday night at a Circle K. Police and say the woman flagged down a good Samaritan for help and claimed her husband, Bryshere, assaulted her for several hours at their home.

Police say Bryshere's wife had numerous visible injuries on her body, and cops say she claimed Bryshere strangled her and she temporarily lost consciousness during the alleged assault.

While Bryshere's wife was being taken to a nearby hospital, cops say they went to the couple's home to try to contact the actor, but police say he refused to leave the home and barricaded himself inside.

After a SWAT team and crisis negotiators arrived, cops say the standoff finally ended around 7 AM when Bryshere surrendered to officers in front of his home.

Bryshere was taken into custody and booked into the Maricopa County Jail on 3 charges -- felony aggravated assault (strangulation), misdemeanor assault (domestic violence), and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Bryshere's wife was treated for her injuries and released from the hospital, according to police.

We reached out to Bryshere's camp ... so far, no word back.

That nikka career was a wrap after empire ended, (which i think is a gift and a curse because anytime you on a long running show, nikkas can’t see you in nothing else, and you are typecast, i.e. Jessie pink from breaking bad, Dexter) but after this, in these times that nikka is Saran at this point

Good points.

Long running TV shows can ruin your career unless you have star power outside the show (Will Smith) or have a strong career as a comic (Jamie Foxx, Steve Harvey, Seinfield etc).

People like Taraji Henson and Terence Howard will be fine because they had star power outside the show. Bryshere? I don't think I've seen him in anything beyond Empire. Black man with a DV issue???? He's done

EDIT: forgot he was in the New Edition miniseries.

Dude always carried that August Alsina energy to me, that volatile hoemotional type vibes.

How brick in the dirt dumb do you have to be as a black man, to lay hands on your woman at all, much less as a richer guy and in this social climate?

Some people be determined to lose, swear to the heavens above.

I can't effing stand sassy nikkas, n most nikkas with perms/relaxed hair epitomize sassy.
