I’m way behind on Boardwalk Empire<\/em>, having only seen four of the second season’s twelve episodes, which means I’ve been dodging spoilers like crazy since Sunday’s finale … and often not dodging them very well. I’ve already learned a couple of things I wish I hadn’t.<\/p>\n

But one thing I didn’t mind knowing in advance was that I’d eventually see my high school pal Bill Forsythe\u2014with whom I’d acted in Fiorello<\/em>\u2014in half a dozen episodes as a character named Manny Horvitz.<\/p>\n
