Atlantic City at the dawn of Prohibition is a place where the rules don't apply. And the man who runs things -- legally and otherwise -- is the town's treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, who is equal parts politician and gangster. Side by side with his brother Elias, Atlantic City's sheriff, and a crew of ward bosses and local tough guys, Nucky gains a reputation as the man to see for illegal alcohol. He does business with all the top gangsters -- Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, "Big Jim" Colosimo -- and he does it well ... until a former protégé takes matters into his own hands, setting the Feds on Nucky's tail.

Richard Harlow was one of the best TV characters of all time.
💯 straight gangster of the times
I really wanted him to live so he could reunite with his newfound family, maybe if he would've survived, Tommy wouldn't have killed Nucky.
Facts
I just rewatched this series and he was my favorite character, surpassing Chalkey. As I was so disappointed how Chalkey threw his life away.
Just characters of all time, for me.
"Jimmy deserved better."😭
Stephen Graham, from Snatch to boardwalk empire to the Irish man. He is doing a great job at killing those gangster roles.
Stephen Graham was fantastic as Big Al. I'm a Jersey guy also so I'm a big Boardwalk Empire fan. The Ritz still exists to this day and there is a plaque on the Boardwalk entrance that notes some famous visitors that once stayed there such as Enoch Johnson and AL Capone.
Everyone understood the assignment. 🤞🏽
So does the Knife & Fork. Must be crazy dining at these century old restaurants
Richard Harrow may have been fictional but he was representative of a lot of veterans that came back from the "war to end all wars" who were very disfigured. The tin masks were made for them to cover their wounds. The people who made them we're artists in their own right. There is a very good chance that there were some guys who came back from that war who got involved in organized crime but didn't make big names for themselves like Lucky or Arnold and the rest. Having a severe disfigurement like that would make them easy to pick out in a lineup. Still, Richard is one of the best characters in television very compelling he could commit horrific violence but still had the want and love in heart for a quiet normal family life. As a veteran myself I felt a connection to him and Jimmy. That scene when Richard asks Jimmy if he would fight for him and Jimmy says the last bullet always chokes me up. I felt that. Its something civilians will never know.
I am a vet too but other men know that bond. It is not exclusive to the military.
Michael did a good job playing arnold
ROTHSTEIN was the real criminal he taught all of these guys in Italian Mafia how to avoid attention from the police.
Richard Harrow, Nelson Van Buren, Eddie Kessler, all exceptional characters. What a show.
Damn.. was hoping Richard Harrow was based on a real person. (He was my favorite character.)
He was my favorite too... very sad and TRAGIC figure.
Right, so everyone he killed was made up too then?
Not everyone he killed was fake, it just wasn't him who killed them.
Same
I saw this years ago and I was so pumped for Steve to get a leading role for once. I was really hoping he would not end up like he did in The Sopranos. So much for that one. I think my favorite character from this show though was Richard Harlow. That dude rocked it. I was hoping he was real. Sad how he wound up. All in all though a pretty good gangster show. I love this time period.
Very similarities between actors and real life. Doyle and Jimmy was pretty close. Until this day i do not understand Jimmy's death. Even though Nucky said: "Blood is thicker than water". Eli is a lucky bastard.
Mickey Doyle's laugh is legendary! Need to see Paul Sparks in more film and T.V
Richard Harrow dying broke my heart. During rewatch I skip it. Too much to handle.
AWESOME! THANKS FOR THE INFO.....I STILL WATCH THIS.
Fantastic show and some shockers after watching this 👀 I wanted Richard to be a real life character
Wow that was fun. Thanks for the info. And being from Jersey just makes it cooler.
Cool didn’t know chalky white was a real person!
Great series, experienced my first fart while watching this.
🤣😂🤣 wTF
Very interesting and well researched.
Incredible selection of cast
welcome welcome back lol.
Masterpiece 🔥
Excellent video
Cooley man thanks for the info.
Nucky's real name is
Enoch L. Johnson
This is GREAT!! Thank you
Welcome
This show had such great casting especially for al capone character
Almost shockingly similar
Golden serie 😍
Jimmy was also entirely fictional
Richard Harrow and Al Capone were my favorite characters on Boardwalk Empire!!
Holy shit they nailed Mickey Doyle.
Funny how one of the most interesting and likable characters was totally fictional.
lol who writes this? The only thing Chalky Wright (not 'White' like your caption says), and the charachter Chalky White had in common was that they had the nickname 'Chalky' and they were black 🙄
Loved this series watched times all the way thru right up there with SOA the Wire The sopranos and breaking bad
Nucky was the County Treasurer.
Thanks for telling us which was the real and who was the actors, the black and white photos almost threw me a curve ball..🧐
I don't understand why you would include the true historical names for some figures while not for others
ice pick. ouch. that's gotta hurt
Right?
The fiction one was the most interesting 😂
The real Jimmy Darmody was a scary-looking dude. Micky Sparks too. Um, wouldn't want to meet Micky Doyle in an alley. 'Nucky' looks pretty fuckin' harmless and social and all that, doesn't he? I was unaware that Lucky had his throat slit from ear to ear - kinda explains the name. Tell ya what though, this earned you a step up in the subscription lottery. Nice work!
Casper Holstein was actually in Harlem
Geez they got a Brit to play Capone and a brown eyed man to play Bugsy. Give the kid contacts at least
RICHARD HARLOW was the only REAL person and reason for watching.
Was Rosetti fictional?? Missed him? I thought he had some of best drama moments of series
Rosetti was totally fictional. Tonino Sandrelli might be based on Sam Pollaccia. The D’Alessio brothers were based on the real Lanzetti brothers.
I didn't watch the show, Good thing too because they always change the story so it's Hollywood not very historic.
Animal blundetto
You lost me at Jimmy LOL. James Darmody was a fictional character.
No he wasn’t
Michael Pitt, who portray Jimmy Darmody should of play bugsy Siegel, looks more like the real Siegel instead of the phony actor who "TRIED" to play Siegel!
Bruh Pitt doesn’t look anything like Bugsy Siegel. Also the actor who played him wasn’t phony. So no, Pitt shouldn’t have played Siegel
I always thought harrow was made up
I'm a Jersey guy a connected guy :) and definitely a different style of mobsters back then, but times change. Lived the series can't believe it's been over 10 years.
First of all, that music is annoying.
Mickey Doyle was never the character BWE made him out to be. Hs real name was Mickey Duffy. He became one of the most famous and powerful beer bootleggers in Philadelphia and in Atlantic City. BWE made him out to be a weasel that relied on Nucky as well as others. Thats not the case.
Duffy had legitimate businesses including owning several prominent clubs, including the Perkin and the fashionable Club Cadix at 23rd and Chestnut streets in Philadelphia in 1924.
He didn't die the way BWE made it look either. While staying at the Ambassador Hotel in Atlantic City, Duffy was shot to death by unknown assailants on August 31, 1931. His murder was never solved
Yes he was the character he was made out to be. The music isn’t annoying
He wasn’t made out to be a weasel in BWE. Also no his name wasn’t Mickey Duffy
His murder was solved and Mickey did die the way BWE showed and they didn’t make it look
@@firemonger5409 Where'd you get your info? Read your history. The way BWE is totally false
@@firemonger5409 Solved? Read ACTUAL police files from the time. It wasn't
He played Jimmy SO TERRIBLY❕
Worst character in thee entire series.
Can’t stand that character & the way he played it.
Great show on HBO.
politics has always been dirty
No they haven’t
@@firemonger5409 yes they have.
