One of the finer aspects of Terence Winter’s Boardwalk Empire is that characters can come along whose effect on the show’s foundation can be seismic, yet will intially appear briefly and without ceremony. William Forsythe’s Manny Horvitz is one such character.
A key player in the second season of HBO’s critically acclaimed series Horvitz is a liquor shifting crime boss operating out of Philadelphia whose initial dealing with Jimmy Darmody are a calm prelude to the whirlwind of violence and nastiness which ensues.
As the second season approaches on DVD and Blu-ray (and comes highly recommended) take a brief walk with one of the nastier men on the Boardwalk.
