@mickeybrowne6207 it means that there is no hard feelings towards Thompson. War is war and soldiers do what soldiers do at war. Jimmy and Mr. Thompson had a fair war. They both fought Jimmy lost. Rules of the game. Nothing personal. Just war in his eyes.
@@Fee.1 Let me give you the picture. I believe Richard kinda like Jimmy’s wife. She was sweet and kind, and both had lots in common. But Jimmy was his best friend and didn’t want any smoke from him. The reason Manny Horvitz killed his wife and her lover was because Jimmy failed to deliver some business he promised to do. Manny killed both women. Jimmy’s wife and her lover. He killed them both to avoid witnesses. Now, going back to Richard, he killed Manny because she was someone important to him. I still think he kinda liked her. Plus, he left her son orphaned. He didn’t have any vendetta against Nuck, he saw the way Nuck treated him, and he knew if he were a good soldier, he would be alive.
Jack Hudson really put a lot into portraying Richard Harrow's facial ticks and struggles of someone that had a horrific head injury and all the related nerve and muscular damage one would have to compensate for to form words.
and that voice on top of it??? That’s a fucking LEGENDARY performance, and that’s saying something with the cast of that show. It’s rly hard to outshine Buscemi
I dont mean to be pedantic or an a*hole, but his last name is Huston, related to Anjelica Huston, Danny Huston and some director. They've a big film-maker family. I totally agree. Bless his heart, even in the brutal bootleg business he was such a sweet person with a kind soul. And totally bad-a when did a John Wick with a bolt action to save the little boy
“Jimmy was a soldier…He fought, he lost.” Harrow in a way is saying what Tony Sopranos said, “Soldiers don’t go to Hell.” Harrow is a soldier and sees the game as war and combat. But when Manny killed Angela, she was a civilian, not a combatant. So Richard sent Manny to Hell.
Except Tony got the fallacy of his own logic immediately turned on him by his own therapist. Tony: "Soldiers don't go to hell for killing, it's a battle. They just follow the orders, they're not responsible(for the sin) for murder." Therapist: "But you're not a soldier(since he was the head of the family giving out the orders)". Really good scene to see him going through that conflict and trying to justify himself.
You hear his voice, likely suffered damage in the war, either by poison gas or shrapnel or something. When speaking causes pain, your verbal economy becomes very precious, and the few words you do speak have to count.
It wasn't often Nucky met a man he knew, if it came down to it, there was no buying or stopping him. Nucky stood before a man here that had every reason to kill him, every bit of information that would justify it, and was spared by the one virtue Nucky rarely used: kindness. It isn't often death's emissary visits for a conversation.
Not kindness... Honor. Soldiers fight & Soldiers die, that's part of life... it was killing a woman who wasn't a Soldier that he found dishonorable which is why he avenged her.
The fact Nucky new that Harrow could kill him if he wanted and just accepts it as fact is mind shattering considering what Nucky had gone up against at this point
Nucky strongly believed in returning favors; he tested Harrow and got a relieving response, about him willing to spare his and his family's lives as payback for their good deeds to him
nucky is many things, but he's not particularly cowardly, and he's second only to rothstein in his capacity for dispassionate decisions- without fear or rage, calm discussion is a pretty reasonable response to this circumstance
I love how Richard was gangster enough to stand Infront Of the man who killed his best friend and not let his emotions get the best of him and submit to the fact that the game is the game jimmy played and Jimmy lost
Best character to ever be created for a show. Harrow is a man of few words, but was the boogeyman of the boardwalk and other territories. He was a soldier through and through. I love him and his characters story entirely.
The quiet psychopath is probably the most enthralling character type there is. They seem unassuming but in reality, all those monsters we fear in the world, these guys are those monsters. For instance my favorite character in a movie is probably Anton Chigur from No Country for Old Men. He was just a guy doing his job, that was his demeanor the entire film, he held the same energy as a pest control guy spraying houses, brilliant character.
The power and gravitas of these actors make this scene timeless. These dangerous men speaking in such soft voices with a firmness and directness shows the power of these two forces of will.
These two work the screen so well together. The way Nucky took a moment & looked down realizing the man across from him is haunted by the lives he’s taken is sick
@@Gravastar7 He's asking to see if he's normal or not. And, in some small part of his brain, he's checking if it was possible for anyone else to not be changed by it. If there was a place you could be in where it was ok for your soul.
Harrow loved Angela and Jimmy so much it kinda hurts , a lot of people wish they had friends like those ,he massacred a home to save Jimmys boy , imagine having that type of devotion
Scary part is there’s some psycho men who don’t let it get to them that bad. And during wartime the fellow soldiers sing them praise! But those men could never adjust to civilian life.
My grandfather didn't ever say much. Few in Australia did. My great uncle told me that a ww2 veteran told him anyone who bragged about killing the enemy in the war NEVER WENT. Because if you did, it was too horrific to talk about. My mother who always tries to upstage me on everything used to thought she had been told everything but he told me more. We used watch band of brothers together and he would be like "THAT'S unrealistic, it'd cause ricocheting. When you shoot, you always want to be back a distance" and other tips on what works and what's just Hollywood.
@@nellaad I just finished watching BE for the first time last week. Big fan of organized crime dramas. Very solid show during seasons 1-4. 5 felt rushed and half assed. Overall solid nonetheless.
@@nellaad my impression was that he was a principled, kind-hearted guy who experienced unthinkable trauma during the war, which left him with a wound (both metaphorically and physically) that could never heal. The old him never really came home from Europe, and he found purpose again in being a soldier, just on a different sort of battlefield.
One of the very best and most tragic characters ever put to a screen. Anyone who hasn't watched BWE is missing out on a once in a lifetime performance.
When you wake up to the fact that it was all organized with people that are just like you, who wanted to go home just like you and who feared what you were like, without thinking that you are identical, just separated by miles and miles. But one of you will never come back. You forcibly forget, but you always remember their last facial expression.
@@alenparker3056 that's not what I meant. In some war, soldiers aren't even against fellow soldiers, sometimes they're just killing civilians. So they're not equals
This just made me think about a scene in a war film with an English character returning to his own trench after a trench raid. Turning to his friend, defeated and crying, he says, "I lost count. Willy, I lost count. I bayonet'd the first one an I shot a few more but I lost count. I can't even remember how many I've killed Willy". Just defeated.
@@aureklanderson4498 actually he was sheriff and they barley touched on it cause, by the time they showed him literally becoming sheriff by the time the show ended so he could’ve done a lot shi we don’t know about.
A great character who, unassumingly, captured all the scenes he was in. Great writing and great acting presence is hard to find but when you do...this is what you get!
Never noticed it before but it kind of reminds me of the classic Count Dracula costume, along with his blood shot glaring eyes and pale palor. I wonder if this is an intentional visual cue to shoa Nuckys loss of humanity and transformation into a monstrous blood sucker who maintains his cover as a decent person now more out of convience. Nucky at this stage has very little of his soul left, any that remains is more like a haunting.
@@johnanon658 S3E1, he received some medal-award from the Church/ Vatican for his earlier charities and donations and such...basically a feel-good prize

I could've watched Boardwalk Empire for a hundred seasons if they were all like the first few. There was nothing about that show that wasn't incredible, and there were so many more gangster stories from that time period that could've been made into story lines. The first few seasons are my favorite of any TV show in history.
Richard was such a vulnerable, yet deadly character. If you were his friend, if he cared about you, he'll kill anyone to protect you. Look what he did when he went to rescue Jimmy's little boy from his grandmother. Guy slaughtered everyone. 😳
And the fact that he was expecting there to be way more men guarding that house as well. Luckily for their sake more than half of them left or else they would’ve all be dead too lol
@@bg4097 Manny Horowitz. Jimmy owed Manny $5000 and finally Manny took matters into his own hands and killed Jimmy's wife Angela. Angela had always been kind to Richard and never treated him badly for the way he looked, so Richard avenged her death by killing Manny in front of his own wife.
Sorry but you are way off. Richard was not broken. He was damaged but he still had the capacity for love, had not only a best friend but a romantic relationship. Saved the life of a child and avenged the death of an innocent woman who was murdered. Nothing like Darth Vader. At all.
@@satchelyork Darth Vader also possessed the capacity to love and care. But, the combined toll of what he did to protect Padmé and the fact that he lost her (and his unborn children) broke him. He became a shell of what he once was. A simulacrum of what was Anakin, filled with nothing but rage and hatred. The sad part is that most of that hatred was directed towards himself. Both Richard Harrow and Darth Vader are veterans and horrors that were created as the result of a government that failed them. Both suffered and lost friends during their respective wars (the difference being that the U.S. was involved in World War I for a year and the Clone Wars lasted for three). And, the wars took pieces of their soul. The main difference I can see is that Richard Harrow never redeemed himself, but he died peacefully. Vader, on the other hand, was redeemed by his son's love and his slowly growing weariness of wanton war and destruction and in doing so destroyed the very Empire he helped create. They are both tormented and sad souls. There are plenty of differences between them, but they're also similar. As long as we don't get into Disney's ideas on the franchise.
Best character of the show followed by Nucky and Al, But am I the only one who thought the guy who played George Remus looked almost a dead ringer for the real life Al Capone minus the scar?
It's a good show. The 5th season was rushed because the show was cancelled, but still a great show. Just a heads up, it's not really about the Italian mob so much as it's about organized crime and corruption, and obviously the mob is there. But you do also see the formation of the current Italian Mafia. Definitely worth watching in my opinion. There are even a lot of actors from the sopranos on boardwalk empire.
When you have killed people in the line of duty and you were close to them, you remember each one. When you lay down at night and close your eyes you start seeing their face. I only had to contend with one. Can't imagine how it was to deal with so many. The one almost cost me my life but I did find closure.
Everyone breaks that rule, nobody cares anymore. People play call of duty and meet a real soldier and think of this as points, not other humans, its sad and the worst question to ask a man
I forgot how incredible he was in this. I remember seeing him years after unmasked and wondering why I cared so deeply about a totally different character until it occurred to me it was Richard hanging in my periphery. Great show too, I feel it was at a point where TV, at it's best, started to seriously and consistently match film in class.
you must watch the show....even if you don't care for the genre, the acting alone is worth it....this show made me actually feel like I was in 1900's America, and the old Boardwalk
Richard was honestly one of my favorites of this series cause he was so broken not only on the out but the inside as well, jimmy was like his best friend, but he realized jimmy picked a fight he wasn’t gunna walk away from alive so
This was a genuinely scary character and I would have started praying the instant I seen him if he was my enemy, I would have prayed for my bullets to strike true and strike to the heart of my enemy because he was praying for the same thing, you knew when you seen this man that someone was not going to walk away and chances are it was not going to be you. He was really a badass character. Well written. Well played
As a veteran this video give me chills. I was an operator and was in active conflicts and have had to engage from time to time. After while you don't even count. Because of the day all you're trying to do is protect you and the person beside you.

Harrow was always my favorite ride-or-die character; his loyalty was unquestionable.
His like the Darth Vader of the series. A man broken and deformed. Cold but a sliver of humanity
Sorry but you are way off. Richard was not broken. He was damaged but he still had the capacity for love, had not only a best friend but a romantic relationship. Saved the life of a child and avenged the death of an innocent woman who was murdered. Nothing like Darth Vader. At all.
@@satchelyork on second thoughts, I agree. But everyone will agree Richard us one BAD ARSE MOTHER F#%@&ER
@@satchelyork Darth Vader also possessed the capacity to love and care. But, the combined toll of what he did to protect Padmé and the fact that he lost her (and his unborn children) broke him. He became a shell of what he once was. A simulacrum of what was Anakin, filled with nothing but rage and hatred. The sad part is that most of that hatred was directed towards himself. Both Richard Harrow and Darth Vader are veterans and horrors that were created as the result of a government that failed them. Both suffered and lost friends during their respective wars (the difference being that the U.S. was involved in World War I for a year and the Clone Wars lasted for three). And, the wars took pieces of their soul. The main difference I can see is that Richard Harrow never redeemed himself, but he died peacefully. Vader, on the other hand, was redeemed by his son's love and his slowly growing weariness of wanton war and destruction and in doing so destroyed the very Empire he helped create. They are both tormented and sad souls. There are plenty of differences between them, but they're also similar. As long as we don't get into Disney's ideas on the franchise.
A movie on Richard Harrow with Jack Houston in the role would get me to the cinema on opening night
So he waited outside his house and used a shotgun to the face, very close. Hmm... Reminds me of Tony Blundetto's death 🤔
Best character of the show followed by Nucky and Al, But am I the only one who thought the guy who played George Remus looked almost a dead ringer for the real life Al Capone minus the scar?
I've always wondered what kept him from getting the Capone role. Height was probably their main issue
The guy who play George Remus played the creepy guy in True Detective. Great acting
@@Itiswhatitis723 yeah the lawnmower man on the first season I forgot about that
You forgot AR.
Yep
Steve buscemi is just an all around great actor, love his work
Man should've won all the awards for this portrayal. Absolutely outstanding.
I've never seen this show, but I'm obsessed with the mafia and these clips look amazing. Time to binge watch
It's a good show. The 5th season was rushed because the show was cancelled, but still a great show. Just a heads up, it's not really about the Italian mob so much as it's about organized crime and corruption, and obviously the mob is there. But you do also see the formation of the current Italian Mafia. Definitely worth watching in my opinion. There are even a lot of actors from the sopranos on boardwalk empire.
U must I definitely suggest it
Harrow was the boss. An enforcer and executioner. But always saddest for him a human being.
A truly tragic and and fascinating character.
When you have killed people in the line of duty and you were close to them, you remember each one. When you lay down at night and close your eyes you start seeing their face. I only had to contend with one. Can't imagine how it was to deal with so many. The one almost cost me my life but I did find closure.
The "Premier Character" in this Series! A"Killer" with integrity... As weird as that sounds...🖤
My most favorite character in this show along with Chalky White and Nelson Van Alden
Nicky broke the rule here, never ask a man how many lives he has claimed
Everyone breaks that rule, nobody cares anymore. People play call of duty and meet a real soldier and think of this as points, not other humans, its sad and the worst question to ask a man
Richard Harrow is such a great character.
Richard Harrow is a top 10 all time television character.
I forgot how incredible he was in this. I remember seeing him years after unmasked and wondering why I cared so deeply about a totally different character until it occurred to me it was Richard hanging in my periphery. Great show too, I feel it was at a point where TV, at it's best, started to seriously and consistently match film in class.
notice the Knights templar cross
You can see the respect when he says "63". Like "not bad, bro."
The vocals coming in right after Richard says 63 and it cuts to Buscemi and his facial expression will always be priceless to me 😂
This man...this conversation is one conversation I will never forget...
You know the answer to that yourself, freaking beautiful
Richard Harrow was the best character in the show.
"You know the answer to that yourself" is chilling.
Clear and honest confession! I respect that.
I get the impression he never would have killed anyone but, he felt he owed it to the people he loved.
Scene in brothel, when he's rescue little Tommy is one of the best massacres ever showed on TV. My favorite character.
The most badass character in anything
I never really watched this show but this guy seems ridiculously interesting.
you must watch the show....even if you don't care for the genre, the acting alone is worth it....this show made me actually feel like I was in 1900's America, and the old Boardwalk
Richard Harrow is the saddest character of all time.
one of the greatest characters in tv history. the scene where he died was tough
I wish the last season wasn't rushed great series and loved this character but his ending was perfect.
One thing a soldier never talks about is how many enemy combatants they've killed, it's something that a soldier never prides himself over.
Unless you're a sniper... LOL
What a scene
One my ALL TIME favorite character of any format
When you speak with death himself, you say
Good Evening
Mr Harrow
Richard was honestly one of my favorites of this series cause he was so broken not only on the out but the inside as well, jimmy was like his best friend, but he realized jimmy picked a fight he wasn’t gunna walk away from alive so
He was such a great character, written so perfectly heartbreaking and acted brilliantly
This was a genuinely scary character and I would have started praying the instant I seen him if he was my enemy, I would have prayed for my bullets to strike true and strike to the heart of my enemy because he was praying for the same thing, you knew when you seen this man that someone was not going to walk away and chances are it was not going to be you. He was really a badass character. Well written. Well played
Everyone should have a brother or a friend like this
As a veteran this video give me chills. I was an operator and was in active conflicts and have had to engage from time to time. After while you don't even count. Because of the day all you're trying to do is protect you and the person beside you.
