Boardwalk Empire

Capone for sure is stealing this season, I wonder if he was that batshit insane in real life.

Al Capone's actor has always been the best thing about this show, and this season he's kicked it up several notches. It's hard to believe that guy is British.

That is hard to believe hes British. Ive always liked Chalky as well but the direction this season is just odd to me still.

Van Alden was funnier, to me, but yeah, Capone is fucking killing it.

The guy who plays Capone was also in this British movie called This is England, kind of a British coming of age thing, he plays a skinhead and he crushes that role as well. It has a sequel that was not as good, but still decent.

Yeah he plays Jason Statham's business partner in Snatch. Tommy. Probably the polar opposite of a character compared to what he does in this show. Really surprised myself when I put that together.

That scene where he is surrounded at that bare knuckle match after the fight is over made me fall in the love with the dude as an actor. Displays emotion very well , was also in a movie called This is England thats worth a watch.

Haha guess i should of kept on reading before i posted this , seems we have the same taste in movies Chaos =).

That is one of the best scenes of this show. Season three is my favorite by far.

I can't believe it's taken you guys five seasons to figure out Stephen Graham is from England.

who's Stephen Graham?

No idea, but I hear he's from England.

"Are you successful?"
"Not really"
"Why not?"
"I have a feeling my boss doesn't like me"

Fucking gold. Van Alden and Capone are hysterical

Why? The only way you'd ever know is if you looked up info about him or saw him on a talk show/interview. Nothing he does in the show gives any indication that he's British.

My mind is still blown that Stringer Bell is British.

Ryan Kwanten (Jason) on True Blood also did a great job. He is Australian, but he probably had the most consistent accent on that show and never slipped on it.

This season is nice because of Mueller / Eli / Capone arc. Nucky is kinda boring, his flashbacks don't really add anything. Chalky arc is lame and Luciano / Meyer plot doesn't make sense. It's too bad they axed the show because Prez from both The Wire and Treme as Elliott Ness could be gold. Otherwise it feels too rushed for my taste.
