How would you describe the mental state of Nucky and its position in Atlantic City and in this fourth season?

Now that he is no longer the county treasurer, who is not in politics, and therefore do not have to make speeches, no longer have to live a double life, get to a certain point, I think now embraces more its dark side. That public part of his life has been snatched him and now he is really immersed in the business side of things. Is more withdrawn and isolated, and has done this to himself because he is most vulnerable, is a white-other people want their power and business. And at the same time, it has also lost Margaret (Kelly Macdonald) and it definitely does not say pieces though.

As an actor, that character’s moral compass has become even darker, how do you feel?

Well, it’s always much more difficult to interpret because the darker material is not exactly a nice place to go and to stay, and we have a timetable of eight months of filming for 13 chapters. I mean, not that Nucky was a comical character before, but there was a certain lightness, a gentle side: I used to tell jokes, he has not said one longtime. And, really, I miss interpret that, so I can only imagine what it’s like to live Nucky. Now it’s like a character that can not be in public, can not be the benevolent man he was and I think he takes his bitterness is growing.

marriage between him and Margaret is one of the columns in the series. Do you think there is still a chance for them

Nucky tried to get Margaret back and she refuses. So he thinks, what’s the point? Now he sees himself as a bachelor again, and something subtle but no longer use her wedding ring, so I do not think he hopes the situation is made. Personally, I think he really loves the truth and I want it back. But I think it is smart enough to know that she is strong and probably more respect she has decided to give up everything he had with him. Nucky thought she would want the same things that he and considering where it came from, I would be grateful for everything he had given in the material aspect. I think Margaret is not silly at all, and I had a pretty clear idea of ??what he was getting into. So while both are alive, there is always hope.

Nucky directed the smuggling business but was very gracious and took care of people. Now he is openly selfish Are there still those other positive aspects in it

No one imagined would happen

ban, his life was like before that county treasurer. As he says in the pilot, the ban was a gift. With their arrival, there was still more money to be made. It always amazes me that people still accept bribes. In this day and at this time, with the paper trail and the internet, things are so easy to trace, and yet politicians still do. I think it’s human nature than anything else. But yes, I suppose under the corruption and bitterness, Nucky has his heart in the right place, and maintains a semblance of humanity. So I like both embody.

Do you think the public is seeking refuge in the television movie

I think today there are a wide range of entertainment options that did not exist before. When television came massively, in the early fifties, it was said that I would never be able to compete with film, and that has not proven to be entirely true. Personally I think there’s an audience for everything and that each person is free to decide what they prefer to see. The truth is that there are more supply-quality entertainment and what we’re trying to do with Boardwalk Empire is just that-in television today, there are series of all kinds for all audiences. They are stories of time like this or like Mad Men (which I personally love) or series that touch on political issues such as House of Cards or Homeland, or completely fantastic series, or comedies Enlightened with Laura Dern, which I think is great or Shameless … there’s something for everyone and I think that’s good, because it allows a wider choice. We seek to do our best work, and see what the public has favored us. I could not be happier with the result.

A series involves a long-term commitment. Does this affect in any way your projects in film or theater?

anything. It is true that it takes longer and is absorbent, but if it were not so satisfactory, it would not. Nucky is very rich in character nuance and is a pleasure to play something, because roles and fail every day. On the other hand, we have the flexibility of time to do things in movies, it does not take much time, and combine both. That is the life of actor, you know? Already a roaming and go from one forum to another, from one stage to another, because there are two things: sustenance, bread you desire and what you live, and also the passion for it. That’s what being an actor. Work which is what you love to do.
