@@aramis5301 Michael Stuhlbag was incredible in this series but so were alot of the other actors. I think he was given a more complicated character to play than the others outside of maybe Gilian and Jimmy Dormady. Hard to pinpoint one actor as the best thing in the show when so many portrayed historical characters beautifully. One thing I thought the show may've been a bit off on was Lucky Luciano being portrayed as an unrefined hot headed street thug. I always thought Luciano was more cerebral than the mobsters of that era which is what led to the Commission being formed. Maybe this was how young Luciano was but I never seen or read of him portrayed this way until this show.
I once had an offer to move to another company. I really didn't like the environment on the new company (I had briefly worked there before) but the salary was more than the double (yeah..). I went to my supervisor with whom I had a good friendship and presented him my dillema. He took me to a room separately and said bring a coin, I saw this thing on a show that is a very good idea. A few years late I was watching The Boardwalk Empire and realized where he had got it from. :) that was a happy moment for me.
At 3:23 when Jimmy says Nucky Thompson is like a father to me & Luciano goes “I got a father..barely said hello in 5 years” & jimmy says “sorry to hear it.” Luciano’s face is priceless. 🤣
Best character in this series, the guy playing Rothstein put so much effort into studying the man and finding out every bit of info he could. The last season suffered massively because of his absence.
Michael Stuhlbarg is usually pretty good at his craft, even if it's a smaller role like in Men in Black 3 or The Shape of Water. I can't think of a bad performance he's put in even if the production isn't always the best. He's always gigging too so he's not hard up for work.
This series was vastly underrated. Came too close to The Sopranos and The Wire. Just wasnt ready for a third crime drama so quickly. Rothstein was a scene stealer
I was disappointed to see the time jump of season 5 I was hoping to see charlie rise to power, rothstein death and many more. Atleast formation of commision should have gotten couple or three episodes Its the historic event in mafia history
Way too much drama behind the scenes was this show's downfall. Whatever happened with Michael Pitt, I am convinced his death was not the original intention. Then there was the precarious renewal process the show seemed to go through at the end of every season, and it ended up affecting the show itself. If the show was able to run with its original script and without having had to worry about viewership and whatever else was happening, it could've stood at the pinnacle of TV. As it stands, it's a great show that I rewatch now and again, but it's no Sopranos, Mad Men or The Wire.
@@swaryne I only read about the drama concerning Pitt. He was a diva so they killed him off. I didn't know about the issues concerning production. I thought the execs loved this show.
That's because they make him appear that way the real brains was Johnny torrio I dnt why they make the movie like this Arnold nuchy and Johnny suppose to be on tha same level of intellect they make him seem smarter and everyone else seem dumb even Luciano and Mayer lansky
That is not true, Johnny Torrio was very smart , but Rothstein was a way bigger player then him. Meyer Lansky and Luciano are shown like that because they are still basically kids in that era, their time came after all this.
@@laza_mma1052 I think it's interesting the way the show Rothstein in this show. I really liked the character. It would have been interesting to see his decline, as I understand it he simply got down on his luck, which is unusual for a career gambler.
He's always solid, even when he's in something less than spectacular. Give him a good juicy part like this & he just owns it. This series had excellent writing & acting in it.
*"Flip a coin .... when its in the air, you'll know which side you're hoping to get"*. Good god, this show is gold. I mean this is legit life advice when it comes to decision making. In fact I'm going to try this out henceforth when making decisions.
No lie I’ve been using this both for big decisions and also dispensing it as advice and people will literally look at you as a genius haha give it a shot sometime you won’t be disappointed
At the risk of showing my ignorance or yes even stupidity, can someone explain what Rothstein meant with that line? Because, even in the air, you can't really predict on which side it will land. Or am I taking it too literal?
"No, but I hear they often say amusing things". Darmody gets this condescending response bc he isn't sharp enough to get that Rothsteins Q: of "who are you" isn't biographical but more of "what can you show me that says you're capable of this massive step up in responsibility"
@@game_theory2547 Now with this in mind watch this scene when Nucky asks Meyer the same question, watch Meyers response. czcams.com/video/uj9rGa0tEL0/video.html&ab_channel=artfulgooner
One of the greatest lines in the series, and also belies how masterful Rothstein is in this scene at picking up on how Lansky and Luciano are feeding him lies. Notice how, when Rothstein asks about Nucky Thompson, Lansky says, "Word is he's got a beef with his brother" and Luciano looks at him angrily. This is because Luciano knows Rothstein will sense Lansky's deception. Sure enough, Rothstein feeds Luciano the line about pillow talk. Luciano instinctively seizes upon this as a moment for him to joke and clear the air. But Rothstein, master that he is, sees the joke as exactly what it is, an attempt to cover up the question about Jimmy Darmody and also Meyer's stupid excuse. At this point Rothstein wants to call them out on their BS, but he realizes that it's not in his interest to provoke a confrontation. He then makes the genius comment about manure signaling that he knows Luciano and Lansky are lying to him, but is choosing not to confront them about it, because he knows he has the advantage and that Luciano and Lansky don't have what it takes to challenge him yet. A true power play that worked exactly as intended.
@@jhondahl3111 Several reasons. In the next scene we can see from AR's interaction with Nucky and Torrio that he no longer trusts Charlie and Meyer. And indeed this is a theme of season 2, with the rivalry between Torrio and Capone and of course the pivotal conflict between Nucky and Jimmy. And later on, Rothstein proves that he doesn't really trust Charlie when he cheats him out of the heroin deal, during which scene Rothstein seems to suggest that he has seen through Luciano for a while now and knows his real nature. Of course the truth is that Luciano and Lansky ended up being way more sophisticated than Rothstein gave them credit for, but AR was right that Luciano couldn't conceal himself from him, since, after all it was Rothstein who sniffed out the heroin deal and used this knowledge to gain an advantage over both his former underling Luciano and also Joe the boss, who was powerless to move against AR's paid cops. And I think this all goes back to the scene in the stables. I think this moment that I described is the point in the show when Rothstein senses the deception. That is what he really means when he says that it smells like manure. He was not talking about the horses, but about the shit that Charlie and Meyer were trying to feed him.
The show was fantastic. The only character that was miscast was Nucky Thompson. The man that played Richie Aprile from the Sopranos would have been perfect.
@broaddusmarines He is not “big” so he does not radiate “power” like Gyp or Joe da Boss. At the same time, he doesn’t really radiate “authority” like Mellon who is far older.
"Do you have kids, Mr Rothsetein"? "No.... but I'm told they often say unexpected and amusing things. I appreciate you coming to me, I applaud your audacity. And I give you my word that your offer remains in this room". Beautiful writing 😊
Never tell another criminal that you're married and have a kid. That's weakness that can be used against you. They know you'll do anything for your wife and kid and they'll even wager your life against it.
They may have been gangsters and killers but i admire how they can face each other like gentlemen, look each other in the eye & shake each others hands to close a deal.
I like that this scene ties back of the writing of first season when Rothstein is getting advice from his lawyer in the barbershop. “You let it dry. Settle, and gently brush it off.”
I havent exactly watched this entire series but this actor is extremely good. He steals the scene every time. I liked the season 2 one with Jimmy the most, looking like a child but calling Jimmy one.
*"Flip a coin... when it's in the air, you'll know what side you're hoping for."* I'll have to try that in the future whenever I'm torn between two choices.
If I were to model myself off of anyone on Boardwalk Empire (which is something I would not be enthusiastic about doing), it would definitely be Rothstein. Calm, collected, sophisticated, and highly articulate, I always looked forward to every scene he was featured in. Michael Stuhlbarg did an awesome job in this role. His precision over everything that he involves himself with is profound as it is inspiring, even if it is used towards evil purposes. Also, nicely mannered.
Michael Stuhlbarg got fucked by this show. They just totally forgot he was a character in the story and didn’t even bother showing his death scene. Insulting.
One mistake that was made is he called Luciano “Lucky” he wasn’t referred as that until after AR was killed when he started working for masseria and was playing both sides with maranzano which whom cut his face and let him live! That’s where the name lucky came from!
Its funny that they kept calling Salvatore Luciano aka Lucky Luciano Lucky. He didn't recieve that name until way and far later. During the time of the Castlemaressi wars aka he was around 32 or 33 right before he started the commission. He was called Lucky because he survived being stabed, beat and his throat slashed by Joe Masseria's men which is why he betrayed him in the end. Like mf you tried to kill me and leave me for dead. That was justified of the uptmost.
The source of this audio clip has always been mysterious. The second i heard this, i was astounded because i knew where I've heard it before. It's said to be either German or Canadian.
Arnold Rothstein is one of the best characters in this series, he isn’t verbally abusive, well spoken, and in the main polite, to me that makes really dangerous. But Joe the Boss character irritated me, with the hard man attitude all the time, and this overly sinister attitude.
I remember the '50s we used to know the mobs in the 50s that's how close I was to God Mom was my thing you ain't got nothing if you ain't got that swing
Season 4 killed off two of my favorite characters in the series. Richard and Maybelle. Two characters that never interacted in any way shape or form, completely on the oppsoite sides of spectrums.
This show was the greatest thing to happen. Problem was too many scenes with boring characters and too much fictional liberty without the need. So many characters and situations that weren't included. Definitely insight into American history.
The fact that he got an off screen death is criminal.
HBO should have spun off a series focused on AR, Joe the Boss, Lucky and Lansky. That arc by far had the most intriguing character depth.
Honestly, I loved this series, but they really fucked up the end, and I will never forgive them for this in particular. Killing the best character in-between seasons... Such an insult to Michael Stuhlbarg, too. He was the best thing about that show.

Benny fazio master criminal in season one 😂
5:43 "...doesn't make me a simp."
6:39 Waiter: Nvm Lol
I remember the '50s we used to know the mobs in the 50s that's how close I was to God Mom was my thing you ain't got nothing if you ain't got that swing
Season 4 killed off two of my favorite characters in the series. Richard and Maybelle. Two characters that never interacted in any way shape or form, completely on the oppsoite sides of spectrums.
Omg but the actor who played Arnold is the best
This show was the greatest thing to happen. Problem was too many scenes with boring characters and too much fictional liberty without the need.
So many characters and situations that weren't included. Definitely insight into American history.
Darmody blew too much smoke up Arnold's ass. He might as well just said eventually I'm going to play you like a piano.
7:50 I always laugh at how Lucky loses his shit here
