HBO NEW SHOW: BOARDWALK EMPIRE

Omar is back!

No, The Wire isn't coming back to tv. We all wish it was but they're gay thug Omar is! To HBO to be exact.


Michael Kenneth Williams, best known Omar Little in The Wire, will be returning to HBO as the newest cast member of director Martin Scorsese's (Scarface, Gangs of New York) drama pilot Boardwalk Empire. The show started production on Tuesday.

The show chronicles the early 20th century origins of Atlantic City and revolves around a man named Nucky Johnson, who runs a liquor-distribution ring, and Jimmy Darmody , his ruthless co conspirator.

Williams will play Chalky White, the mayor of Chickenbone Beach, Atlantic City's black section. He's an intelligent ex-boxer and confidant of Nucky's who rules his community with an iron fist.

I hope he plays some gangsta dude again, with Martin Scorsese directing he just might. Omar was the truth.
