EXCLUSIVE: Ron Livingston has joined the cast of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire as a new series regular for the period drama’s upcoming fourth season. He will play Roy Phillips, a wealthy out-of-town businessman who catches the eye of Gillian Darmody (Gretchen Mol). Season 4 is currently in production and will debut later this year. This marks Livingston’s return to HBO where he co-starred on the Emmy-winning Sex And The City, Band Of Brothers and, most recently, Game Change. This year, Livingston, repped by UTA and Thruline, appears in several movies, including Lynn Shelton’s Touchy Feely, which premiered at Sundance, Drinking Buddies, which premieres at SXSW, and New Line’s supernatural thriller The Conjuring. He just wrapped Parkland. Boardwalk Empire is executive produced by creator Terry Winter, Martin Scorsese, Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Tim Van Patten and Howard Korder and co-executive produced by Gene Kelly.

Didnt Gretchen Mol’s character die? Spoiler alert much?
I don’t think she’s dead because they showed her still alive as I recall. And you can’t really complain about spoilers many months after the episode aired.
You might want to watch the finale again, Nuck.
I kinda thought she was dead too. She was still breathing in her last scene, but those sure seemed like last words.

I think Boardwalk will be one of those Deadwood-esque shows that will still see its popularity grow over time. Of the Deadwood fans I know now, few watched the original episodes as they aired.
I’m a huge fan of Buscemi, too, although I still think he’s to squirrely to play the back-slapping politician. Maybe HBO feared that casting another imposing alpha type like John Goodman would draw instant comparisons to Gandolfini and McShane, which it may have, but it also may have been the wiser route for the character.
Excellent news
