| Steve Buscemi is not believable as a tough guy. His role on The Sopranos was embarassing. | |

Yeah Im questioning him in this role. The previews I have seen have not looked promising. But the reviews seem good, I will def give it a chance. But not tonight. | |

| Buscemi is a great actor, and I'm a fan, but not sure about him for the part he's playing, at the same time maybe he's the perfect fit for the person he's playing. From what I've seen in previews it looks ok, I'll probably pass. | |

It was better then I'd figured. Thought it was pretty good actually. though there was a little too much music overdubbed especially late. And Buscemi's role is not that of the hard line gangster which I expected, and thus I do not see him as miscast as I was worried he was. | |

THAT song really needs to go.
Capone blowing the guys head off was great | |

Capone blowing the guys head off was great I thought it turned out to be the other kid who blew his head off. I dunno, maybe my expectations were low, but I thought it was pretty good. | |

I agree but, for the life of me, why couldn't they get a more effective "Al Capone." Have you ever seen the actual Capone? Not saying that you need an actor that looks exactly like him, but someone that can bring him alive the De Niro did in "The Untouchables." I think this is going for a more sophisticated audience than most HBO series I've seen and I don't think the casting reflects it. I think I can imagine the problems with casting Capone. They start and end with the word, fat. Most actors keep themselves in shape and want to be sex symbols. However, fat guys can take into account that history records a lot of big, men as legends and actors are needed to play these men. Arthur Rothstein was also a larger fellow. He was smart, but I doubt he was the classy guy they're portraying him as. I see a bunch of new faces. My take? More auditions were needed. | |

| I think it's good casting for a 20 year old Capone. He's got a bit of a husky build.
I'm not a big fan of Michael Pitt being cast for his role. | |

| I think the show is going to be very good. Buscemi will carry the show in this role IMO. He's been great in past gangster movies and his role in this one is as a corrupt politician getting fat off of prohibition. Good stuff thus far.
"If you wanna see how I do business...show your face in Atlantic again." Loved it. | |
