MadameNoire Remembers Actor Michael K. Williams Through His Incredible Body Of Work
Boardwalk Empire (2010-2014)
Following his time on The Wire, Williams also starred in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire as Chalk White, an ex-boxer and “de facto” Mayor of Atlantic City’s African-American community who ran a major bootlegging operation for Nucky — a gangster and politician who’s the show’s protagonist. Boardwalk Empire is a critically acclaimed series to this day, and Williams’ role as White landed him several nominations and awards both as an actor and as a member of the cast.
