Chalky White and Omar Little took themselves very seriously — clearly, actor Michael Kenneth Williams does not.
The “Boardwalk Empire” and “The Wire” star has been cast in the lead role for IFC’s “The Spoils Before Dying,” which is the sequel of sorts to last year’s “The Spoils of Babylon.”
Will Ferrell is reprising his role as booze-hound author and director Eric Jonrosh on the second installment of the purposefully ridiculous miniseries.
This time around, a pulp-noir murder mystery is set in the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles’ jazz scene. “The Spoils Before Dying” follows down-and-out pianist Rock Banyon (Michael Kenneth Williams) who becomes the prime suspect when his lead singer and occasional lover is found violently murdered in a car with another man.
