In his biggest series commitment to date, Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast of HBO’s "Boardwalk Empire" as a new series regular for the period drama’s upcoming fourth season.

He will play Valentin Narcisse, Doctor of Divinity, philanthropist, student of culture and the man who runs Harlem.



This marks Wright’s return to HBO where he has starred in several long-form projects, including film Boycott, in which he portrayed Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., landing an AFI Award, and mini-series Angels in America, which earned him an Emmy and Golden Globe for the role he originated onstage and won a Tony for.

Wright recently wrapped The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Only Lovers Left Alive and The Inevitable Defeat Of Mister And Pete, which premiered at Sundance.



Season 4 is currently in production and will debut later this year.
