Steve Buscemi
Show: Boardwalk Empire
Network: HBO
Airing: Sundays at 9:00 p.m.
Premieres: Sept. 19
The consummate character actor — Buscemi has made a career out of small parts in movies like Fargo and Reservoir Dogs and memorable TV guest turns on The Sopranos and 30 Rock — finally takes center stage. In Boardwalk Empire, Buscemi plays Atlantic City Treasurer Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, wielding seen and unseen power in the beachside gambling mecca during the Prohibition era. The show’s credentials — it was created by Sopranos scribe Terrence Winter and Martin Scorsese directed the pilot — make it perhaps this season’s most anticipated new series. Given his track record, the bet here is that Buscemi is up to the challenge.
