'Boardwalk Empire,' which was nominated for 18 Emmys for its first season, is back for more, and Season 2 (premieres Sun., Sept. 25, 9PM ET on HBO) kicks off with a bang. Literally.
With the return of the white-hooded KKK to Atlantic City, Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) is forced to figure out where his allegiances lie: With his most prominent voters, or with his most powerful -- and black -- friend, Chalky White, played by Michael K. Williams.
Chalky is a fan-favorite character in the show's otherwise morally ambiguous landscape of prohibition era Atlantic City, and when I caught up with Williams to talk Season 2, he teased that it'll only get crazier this season on Chalky's path to finding justice.
