Before They Were Stars
The Sizzling Cast of Boardwalk Empire Before They Were Stars
Back for a fifth and final season, Boardwalk Empire promises more grisly murders, new unexpected villains, and some surprisingly sexy twists. Set during Prohibition, Boardwalk Empire is the riveting tale of a corrupt politician’s alcohol-soaked reign over Atlantic City—and all those who work with and against him. Everything about the show is amazing to look at: the sets, the costumes, and not least the faces of its stars. More Golden Globes are likely in Boardwalk Empire's future. We’ll drink to that.

Michael Pitt as Jimmy Darmody on Boardwalk Empire
Pitt seems to make a habit of appearing in parts that are a bit off the beaten path, like in the John Cameron Mitchell rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Gus Van Sant’s Kurt Cobain-inspired Last Days, and the controversial French movie The Dreamers. That also goes for his Boardwalk Empire character, Jimmy Darmody, a war vet tortured by the past. [SPOILER ALERT] Jimmy was at the heart and center of the story as Nucky’s protégé and rival—until Nucky killed him in cold blood. We’ll miss him!
