Jack Huston on ‘Boardwalk Empire,’ Playing Richard Harrow, the Mask, and More
Character Study
Jack Huston, the grandson of legendary director John Huston (and nephew to Anjelica and Danny Huston), is stealing nearly every scene of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, where he plays disfigured sniper turned hitman Richard Harrow. Jace Lacob talks to Huston about this week’s episode, wearing the mask, and whether Richard still has a soul.
HBO’s Boardwalk Empire revolves around mob feuds, illegal bootlegging, and the corruption and venality that accompanied Prohibition. But beneath the surface, the show is about grasping at the American dream.
