Boardwalk Empire is the show to watch on cable, but things just got even more exciting for the upcoming season 4. After casting Ron Livingston in a guest spot as a love interest for Gillian Darmody (aka the beautiful Gretchen Mol), the series’ producers have added an even bigger name to the already star-studded cast – Jeffrey Wright.
Wright, whom you may know from such films as “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close,” “The Ides of March,” “Source Code,” “Quantum of Solace,” “Casino Royale,” “Syriana,” “The Manchurian Candidate” or “Ali”… uhm, where was I?
Sorry, lost my train of thought there for a second. I was saying that Wright, an awesome supporting actor with over 40 titles in his resume already, will be playing the regular role (with emphasis on “regular”) of Valentin Narcisse, “Doctor of Divinity, philanthropist, student of culture and the man who runs Harlem”.
I know what you’re thinking. You can smell the awards already. Only, believe it or not, Boardwalk is yet to get a single Emmy or Golden Globe nod for supporting actors (male actors, at least).
Oh, well, you have to start somewhere, right? Only Wright will have to first overshadow his on-screen friends and enemies – Michael Stuhlbarg, Michael Shannon, Stephen Graham, Michael Kenneth Williams or Jack Huston. Not exactly a walk in the park, eh?
