omar is going to play the mayor of the black section of atlantic city in boardwalk empire, a new show that has a roughly 100% chance of getting picked up by hbo.

its 1920's ac, kinda like mad men meets sopranos. terrance winter is writing, scorscese directing the pilot, so its a win.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

its mind blowing how much he developed the characters in one short season...watch the first episode of season four then the last and theres no way youd beileve they are from the same season of a tv show...most shows would take like five seasons to do what simon did in one...its phenominal
