Boardwalk Empire Spoilers

Following his characters death on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, Jack Huston spoke to Rolling Stone about saying goodbye:

“ I was meant to do three episodes and I’ve ended up going a full four seasons, whatever it is--it’s amazing how far we went. We explored so much with him. This season he gave up killing, and he sort of did that a bit before and then he came back and took the boy--and you don’t want to regurgitate the same story. He actually found love, he found a family and the only thing that could happen, for the greater good, for the show and for the character, was that he die, tragically, because he was a tragic character. I think they wrote the most unbelievably beautiful ending, and it made so much sense. I was honored by the ending rather than upset. I was very, very touched. I was very happy that Richard was going to go out the way he was, and while people still loved him.”
