Boardwalk Empire is gonna have to ask Ron Livingston to go ahead and be a series regular

Casting has begun on the next round of hat-fillers for Boardwalk Empire’s fourth season, and today Deadline confirms that Office Space star Ron Livingston has joined the period drama as a series regular, entering a bygone, golden era when telling someone they had a “case of the Mondays” would get you shot in the face. Livingston has lots of previous HBO experience, having turned up in Band Of Brothers, Sex And The City, and Game Change—though it’s up in the air as to whether being old pals with the network will spare him from getting killed before season’s end. In the meantime, he’ll endure an arguably worse fate as a “wealthy out-of-town businessman who catches the eye of Gillian Darmody (Gretchen Mol),” who presumably is gonna have to ask him to go ahead and try on this blonde wig while she calls him “Jimmy.”
