HBO is often doing great shows. They did The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, they are doing True Blood, Enoturage, Hung…
And now, HBO has ordered 11 episodes of Boardwalk Empire, a period drama starring Steve Buscemi and Dabney Coleman that’s executive produced by Martin Scorsese, Mark Wahlberg, and Terence Winter. Developed from a pilot written by Winter (The Sopranos) and directed by Scorsese, Empire is set in the early days of Prohibition and follows Nucky Thompson (Buscemi) and his corrupt reign over Atlantic City. The series is based on the book Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times and Corruption of Atlantic City, by Nelson Johnson.
The drama also stars Michael Pitt (The Village) and Kelly Macdonald (No Country For Old Men). The series, like the pilot, will be based in Brooklyn, NY. Production begins this fall for a 2010 premiere.
I´m guessing that´s good TV News.
Hello Mr Buscemi. I met you years ago when you were Directing the “The Sopranos” since I am a friend of Jimmy Gandolfini’s and I was on the set all the time. You were doing a scene at Globe Motors in Fairfield NJ. I would love to have an opportunity to Audition for a part on this new show Empire Boardwalk. I had the chance to be on the Soprano’s when it just started but I did not go for it since I didn’t want Jimmy to think I was only hanging with him for that reason because I am not like that. I am a Disabled 45 year old Orange NJ Fireman and acting has always been a passion of mine.I am not totally disabled but I got a bad back and many broken bones but that’s what medication is made for. I doubt I will hear from you but my cell number is 973-294-9587. You can ask Jimmy G about me and I would fit right into one of these roles and if not I will even be an extra if I had the chance.
Thank you,
