I was lucky enough to see Michael Stuhlbarg play Tevye in our Highschool's production of "Fiddler on the Roof" when he was a Senior back in mid 80s. It's truly cool to see how far he's come not only on this show but with his reputation on Broadway and in movies.
I met him once at a hotel a while back in Iceland. I was like "Boardwalk Empire, watch it every week" AR definitely being one of my favourite characters, now this was during its peak but he was actually surprised, I guess because he was in Iceland. Great actor.
Love how AR gets annoyed pretty much everytime he has to deal with Mickey Doyle. It's like, he can't suffer fools, and Mickey is the ultimate fool. He spends five minutes explaining the importance of information, and Mickey doesn't get it... "Have you been listening to a single word I've said?!" lol, and it's so funny how AR never really gets into a rage but you can hear his voice rising because of the anger... Amazing writing and amazing acting, too ^^
why work with a fool?. to later complain?. superiority complex at its worst... but this is just a tv show, in the real world people die for hiring the wrong guy and thats a due dilligence issue!
@@sensaiko no reason? He was a nobody that annoyed the shit out of everyone. That last meeting he was a part of was a big deal and him having his throat blown out his spine was not only a subtle way of having his character finally stfu but also a perfect example of writers catching the audience by surprise while conveying the seriousness of the scene.
@@Maw0 The real Arnold Rothstein's luck ran out in 1928. He owed $320,000 (about $5 mill in today's dollars) from a 3-day poker game (lot of bad side bets) and refused to pay, saying the game was fixed - and was killed - and the guy that most likely killed him was acquitted. His luck ran out - but he was a true criminal to the end, refusing to identify his killer to the police on his deathbed.
@@Maw0 If I remember right the 4th season took place in 1924 and the final season jumped 7 years to 1931, so they skipped over his death, which is why Michael Stulberg didn't return - and even he said that he would have loved to see it but he understood they had so much to cover that they jumped over it, because they just didn't have the time to deal with it.
It's funny. The excuse they use is that they didn't know the chauffeur has a gun, but the gun isn't why the hit failed. He didn't even draw the gun until the D'Alessios were already running away.
I love that scene where Nucky asks if they'll arrange to have cake and milk for AR at a sit down and then he comments, "He eats like a fucking child!" 😅👌
There was another scene,with different characters,where one ask another if he wanted some cake and he says something like "What am I 5?".Evidently some were into eating cake whenever back then.
I never saw the actor who plays Rothstien in any other film up until the new Steve Jobs movie came out in 2015, and he plays Apple's lead engineer/designer (not Steve Wosniac). And he did an excellent job with that film as well. Great actor.
"It's the age of information and a businessman lives and sometimes dies on it's value" That statement is even now profound now in the age of facebook, google, etc gathering and profiting off the personal information of billions who use their platform. An even relatively new field and profession "Data Scientist" has sprung up to mine all these useful nuggets to make more money.
Yes but Nucky didn't know that and still got his share of the profits....Not to mention without that whole scene with Rothstein selling out the D'Alessios Nucky would have lost his election. I'd say Nucky gained more than Rothstein in the end.
To someone like Rothstein, its never that I made one million more that Thompson, its always, I'm out a million less than I could have with them all gone. Major players in the money game always concern themselves with loss potential; that is how they keep in the game.
I should have been a bit clearer. There were six D'Alessio brothers, two died before the peace treaty and the four others died afterwards when Rothstein gave their location to Nucky. 6 times 500,000 equals 3 million. Subtract from that the 1 million given to Nucky as part of the peace treaty and Rothstein still ends the war with 2 million, twice as many as Nucky profited.
Not really, if A.R got 2 mil from the insurance policy and Nucky got a mil from A.R that's a mil each. They profited exactly the same. I agree with you in principal though, A.R is definitely the shrewder businessman of the two. However he was left with egg on his face in the end and forced to eat a little humble pie, which i imagine was just as painful to him as handing over a million bucks.
I love how rothstein just looks at the guy talking about the world series with that ( what the fuck did you just say , I;m gonna pretend you're not even their you lowly fuck ) look wow the acting is so good I feel like its not even acting.......
actually AR contradicted himself here right off the bat - if he really did his due diligence and preparation, he would have hire much better hitmen and give more exact instructions lol
The joke's on Nucky. As part of the peace treaty Rothstein also gave Nucky the location of the four remaining D'Alessio brothers, who were subsequently killed. Each one of them signed a life insurance policy that gives Rothstein 500,000 $ for each one of them that dies. By killing the four remaining D'Alessios Nucky gave Rothstein his money back + an extra one million $. The two other D'Alessios died earlier, meaning that Rothstein ends with a two millions dollars. He profited more than Nucky.
“Nothings says I’m sorry like money” - Ha, I love that line!
He is lucky I create my own luck 😂😂😂
i use it all the time, i modified it
Oi vey
In a stellar full of good lines and great acting , AR gets to utter most of the best lines IMO
Gonna use that in the Near future.
the actor who played AR did such a great job, i can watch these scenes for hours lol
That was Michael Stuhlbarg. Absolutely brilliant actor.
Bruce Newmedia a serious actor, man.
He was the best part of Fargo season 3 imo.
And he was in Men in Black 3...!!
I was so upset that he didn't get a death scene in the last season. what a waste.
"It's the age of information, and a businessman lives and sometimes dies on its value."

“He’s Lucky I Create My Luck” A Brilliant line for more reasons than one
1:30 - 1:35 the way he delivers the line while looking at the milk. epic acting
@TheRealist 811 holy shit. You replied to something I put up 4 years ago. You the real hero man. Bought back some memories.
The entire reason why I saved this to my TV playlist was because of a simple, "Due diligence the lawyers call it." Why is that man not in more stuff!?
I like how ARs pedagogy is a little too formal for a common mobster's learning perceptions.
The information age in the 20's
Such an awesome decade for sure
Benny boy got some balls in suit. Artie wouldn’t dare beat him up here.
I like what AR did at 0:25, the wordplay is nice
"Your grandstanding is commendable, but I have to say I'm less than convinced" haha

I like how A.R. Admits to fixing sporting events but has a sour look on his face when one of the brothers says he fixed the World Series
Because that guy made it sound tacky and not very smooth.
@@Harshcore811 the truth's the truth, right?
The actor who plays AR is a very good speaker and very good in pronouncing and memorizing his words in a large degree.
This man sure loves his cake and milk xD
he is the only character who doesn't drink
They have a binding effect.

@@jasonantigua6825 apparently it goes down very easy
Dexter Morgan Right Benny!
0:35 he mentions the World Series to AR, that went down like a lead balloon lol.
They look at him like "are you fuckin serious?"

I totally agree with his "nothing says I am sorry like money". Words are wind.
1:30 to 1:36, you just can't teach that kind of acting. Love it!
AR doesn’t have the preverbal “crew/gang”, but always manages to convince others to commit violence for him. That’s true power.
Part of it is respect/awe. He is known to be an genius and good at his job.
I could go for a slice of Devils Food cake & a glass of milk right now.
*like the world series :) you put the fix in* .. I love how he gives AR respect for that but at the wrong time lmao
Every time i see Rothstein i see Griffin from MIB 3... and he knew the outcome of everything too

i create my luck. i used this to mix the thoughts of poker players at my table for years
I’m glad to see that even back in the 1920s, Benny Fazio was edgy
"Nothing says sorry like Money" I've said that line so much I forgot where I heard it from
What an amazing actor.
nothing says i'm sorry like money.... eeeeesh, it hurts when it rings true, don't it?

I'd say Nucky gained more than Rothstein in the end.
The actor who plays Arnold Rothstein here also played that strange computer brain alien from Men In Black 3.
Such a brilliant scene
"Nothing says, *I'm sorry* like money." Now, that's GANGSTA!
1:21 - AR getting his milk and cake! lol

Rothstein : nothing says I’m sorry like money. Priceless
And now, Nucky should very well be saying a million sorries to Rothstein.
"Nothing says sorry like money ."
Benny Fazio criminal mastermind

Benny Fazio was just never a criminal mastermind.
Artie had to straighten him out
never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Am I the only person that really love how they added the milk and cake pretty suttle. As we all know the real Arnold was obsessed with milk and cake.
HBO, please do a spin off with Rothstein, Luciano, and Lansky and cast the same guys! One can dream, right?
Are one of those D'Alessio brothers the kid who played Mario in Bronx Tale?
JohnLoCicero yeah crazy mario
Funny thing is that Mickey had no idea that his killer was in the same room as him.
He's lucky I create my own luck
What a character!
Not really, if A.R got 2 mil from the insurance policy and Nucky got a mil from A.R that's a mil each. They profited exactly the same.

"we had bad information, like ya said" lol not what he was saying AT ALL
Blame shifting at it's finest
Throughout all of Boardwalk Empire, no one even once said, "Myah, see?". I feel cheated.
Damn benny fuxking things up even in the early 1900s smh
1.28 is this the guy who played Benny in the Soprano's
I love how rothstein just looks at the guy talking about the world series with that ( what the fuck did you just say , I;m gonna pretend you're not even their you lowly fuck ) look wow the acting is so good I feel like its not even acting.......
actually AR contradicted himself here right off the bat - if he really did his due diligence and preparation, he would have hire much better hitmen and give more exact instructions lol
No one in that room realized they were talking to the Great Grandfather of Benny Fazio, future "Criminal Mastermind" of North Jersey.
This explains my deficient romantic life. I thought it was flowers.

why did they cut boardwalk empire short there was so much more to cover
“Have you been LISTENING, to a single thing I’ve been saying?!”
“No.”
“Well then get the fuck out of here.” lol
"Nothing says sorry like money"
Then at the end of the series Rothstein is saying one million sorries to Nucky :D
"It's the age of information."
Yeah.. you don't have any idea.
"we had bad information " ... No, you had no information lmao
The result is the same.
"He's Lucky; I make my own luck."
he is good at gambling because he can see all the futures
Rothstein got more money and political influence, Nucky got money and more political power.
Sometimes it just comes down to who you know and how many you know.
