Among the many things 'Boardwalk Empire' is, is a gangster show.

It's a little hard to believe 40-year-old men as high school students.

I love 'Boardwalk Empire.' I really love that world. I love that style. I love all the actors on it.

I remember how my mom would take me on the subway from Queens to Broadway. We'd go to the offices of casting agents. Many doors were slammed in our faces. I was just a boy, but I remember that well.

Do you know why empires fall? Because they can no longer believe their own lies.

I would like to be a gang leader on 'Sons of Anarchy' or own a lemonade stand on 'Boardwalk Empire.'
