Michael Kenneth Williams In Talks For Django Unchained and Snitch

UPDATE: Associates on Django Unchained stated the talks with Michael Kenneth Williams just won’t exercise due to his schedule on Boardwalk Empire. They're scrapping that role completely. EXCLUSIVE: Michael Kenneth Williams, most widely known for his act as drug dealer/thief Omar within the Wire and bootlegger Chalky Whitened in Boardwalk Empire, will have a supporting role in Snitch and it is searching at another shot at joining Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. Within the Ric Roman Waugh-directed Snitch, he’ll play a drugs kingpin having a short temper who becomes associated with a guy (Dwayne Manley) who's turning DEA snitch to obtain his boy a lower prison stretch. The film shoots early the following month. Django Unchained can also be within the works. Williams was in mind by Tarantino to experience the title role, but Jamie Foxx got that job. Now, Williams’ reps in the Collective are working out dates using the third season of Cinemax’s Boardwalk Empire to ensure that Williams can enjoy another role within the film that Tarantino is exercising artistically. I’m told it’s likely he’ll play muscle for ranch owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).
