"Stephen Graham has described the fourth season of Boardwalk Empire as the most exciting yet for his character Al Capone. The British actor said that he was &amp;quot;made up this year&amp;quot; because of the plot developments and great co-stars that he&amp;#039;s been able to work alongside.  &amp;quot;Next season, Al Capone begins to slowly take over Chicago,&amp;quot; Graham told Digital Spy.  &amp;quot;I suppose he&amp;#039;s becoming that more notorious character that we&amp;#039;re all aware of.  &amp;quot;Johnny Torrio&amp;#039;s passed over the reins and we get to see Al Capone with his family and his brothers Ralph and Frank. That&amp;#039;s great because of the whole story between them as a trio.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been fantastic for me to play, and I&amp;#039;ve been made up this year because I get to spend a lot of time with Michael Shannon - we&amp;#039;re like little and large, the two of us.&amp;quot; Former Breakout Kings and The Wire star Domenick Lombardozzi has been cast as Capone&amp;#039;s brother Ralph.  Graham also revealed that he had been thrilled to work closely alongside former Wire actor Michael K Williams in the HBO show&amp;#039;s third season. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s a great man. I&amp;#039;m a big fan - I loved him in The Wire, I&amp;#039;ve loved all the stuff he&amp;#039;s done,&amp;quot; said Graham. &amp;quot;It was really nice to actually get to play together because it&amp;#039;s one of those kind of jobs where you&amp;#039;ve got a lot of respect for all the other actors in it, but you&amp;#039;re often involved in your own little world.  &amp;quot;Especially for me, I&amp;#039;m in Chicago a lot of the time and then occasionally they let me out of my little place and allow me to play.&amp;quot; Boardwalk Empire returns to HBO on Sunday, September 8 at 9/8c. The new season is expected to air on Sky Atlantic in the UK in late 2013. Watch the season four trailer for Boardwalk Empire:      Boardwalk Empire season three is out now on DVD and Blu-ray.
