Michael Kenneth Williams an Actor best known for his portrayal of Omar Little on the HBO drama series The Wire. Now on HBO's Boardwalk Empire as Albert "Chalky" White – a powerful racketeer and the unofficial leader of the African-American community in Atlantic City. How Real is Chalky White? In a word, not very. There may be some basis as... Michael K. Williams (Omar from The Wire) alludes to the fact that the character is based on a boxer. One would have to think that was "Chalky" Wright, a boxer who fought 200+ matches in a long career that spanned through the 20s, 30s and 40s. However, Wright fought few matches in New Jersey and once fought a match as "Chalky White," probably due to a clerical error. Wright fought out of California, primarily Los Angeles and San Bernadino in the 1920s, so the HBO character seems like a pretty loose interpretation if this is who it is based on. He fought often enough that his involvement in bootlegging was probably peripheral (hired muscle), if anything. SOURCE: http:// |
