Seeing as "Boardwalk Empire" season 4 is currently airing on HBO, it seems as if the cast doesn't mind dishing out juicy spoilers, with the latest details coming from Michael K. Williams.

Williams plays Chalky White, the voice and bootlegger of the black community in Nucky Thompson's (Steve Buscemi) Atlantic City, according to Rolling Stone. The actor recently sat down with the magazine and spoke about going down the rabbit hole with Chalky this season.

The actor said, "It's definitely a huge season for Chalky White. It's a huge season for me personally. I've never been this involved in a big storyline in anything that I've done."

Williams explained, "So you have a black man in 1924 with a major club on the boardwalk of Atlantic City - that's huge. And most of the storyline this year takes place from that club.

"All of the problems that occur happen from that club opening up and how Chalky deals with it. He makes a lot of bad choices, primarily over a woman. And we just pretty much watch him go down the rabbit hole."

The actor also discussed the heated relationship between Chalky White and Valentin Narcisse. Williams said, "The relationship between Dr. Narcisse and Chalky is a very intense, very real relationship in the black community.

"You have the educated, fair-skinned Negro, you know, going up against the dark-skinned, un-academically educated Negro, and the friction of the light skin and dark skin, educated versus the non-educated.

"There's a friction there, you know, on many different levels. The house Negro versus the field Negro"

The actor who used to play "Omar" in "The Wire" stressed that he wanted his "Boardwalk Empire" character to be different from the thug he played in the past.

He said, "The main thing I wanted to do was I wanted him not to feel like Omar. That was number one. The second thing I wanted to do was to not make him appear as just an angry black man. There are things that Chalky experienced that I have no understanding of.

He added, "I don't know what it's like to see my father hang from a tree, or to be illiterate in America. I don't know what that feels like. So I wanted to bring dignity to him, in spite of all his flaws, and I wanted people to understand why he does the things that he does.

"And last but not least, I wanted to pay homage to my ancestors, to anybody who's alive today, any black men that are alive today."
