By far the best non main role. As a veteran I love how the two have a close, yet quiet friendship. A trust formed from the horrors of war was written beautifully.
This scene gets way more dark when you realize the reason that the "have you been with a woman" question made Jimmy so uncomfortable was that it forced him to think of when his mother took advantage of him.
@@andrewbecker9062 I mean that's the main reason he went to go fight in WW1. School was done, he got his girlfriend pregnant, but the shit with his mom is what really destroyed him. He probably just thought if he's going to die, which he probably thought he deserved, might as well do it honorably.
I just had a terrifying thought: Gillian Darmody is the American version of Junji-Ito’s Tomie. The way she seduces men, manipulates them, drives them insane. The way she took advantage of Jimmy and her grandson and pushed Angela away. The seemingly sweet smiling woman with a sadistic and narcissistic streak underneath. It makes real sense now
Jack Huston as Richard Harrow is one of the most brilliantly understated performances in years. He speaks very little, but exudes so much in other ways. One of the most enigmatic (and best) characters in the show.
I love the scene when, after Richard attempts suicide and he meets those hunters in the woods, he goes to Jimmy's and looks at him in his soul and says a very simple yet powerful question. "Would you fight for me?" Jimmy's reply is "To the last bullet, my friend." And then they go to scalp that land baron after he hit Jimmy with the cane
Richard Harrow: the most interesting character on this whole goddamn show. They should be giving him (AND Chalky White, Lansky and Luciano) more storyline time than Margaret's stupid moral dilemmas and Nucky's mistresses.
Its funny because you think of Jimmy in such a nice way, but in reality he is a cold blooded killer. This is why the show is so amazing. It brings the positive and negative emotions on the audience and a dynamic like no other
@ignaciogodoy7095 uhh didn't he sign up? Cause he banged his mom? Which honestly, as far as mistakes go, there's worse you can do. His mom was smokin hot
@@dannyislenska1741 I'm not sure what's you're on about, there's never been anything else made outside of boardwalk empire, let alone for Richard Harrow.
@@nafemarsh i couldnt agree more. Jimmy was his friend. And Jimmy felt a connection with Harrow that transcends words. They have experienced something extraordinairy together. Now they have to live a civilian life which is a big contrast with the years in the war. When Harrow asked "would you fight for me ?" Jimmy answered "to the last bullet".
hahaha are you serious, i guess to each his own opinion. He would of killed himself(payattention), walked himself into the woods where those hunters would of found his skeletal remains. Not saying his life was better with jimmy, just saying if you pay attention to his character arc and know a bit about how depression he was going to off himself and he would have, had he not met the Darmody family.
Looking back on this scene now, I wonder if this is the first time Richard was in that place. Part of me thinks he spent long hours scanning those halls for a friend he could connect with, before finally finding a winner in Jimmy.
Very few characters and their performers have captivated me from their very first scene the way Richard Harrow/Jack Huston did. Absolutely phenomenal job from Jack and the writers.
A little detail that we missed in this scene is when james askes if he want smokes and realizes that he cant, he comes sits near him and smoke so he can enjoy it too :)
I love Richard, he is such a great person, filled with true goodness and a warm heart. Although life had been very cruel to him, he has never seemed to give up his kind and good manner.
When Richard says his last name "Harrow" like he did, I've always thought that's his actual voice without the wound he suffered. He probably has a very kind almost classy voice.
The actor is Jack Huston, he's actually very handsome and British so he probably does sound classy, assuming you're American in which case you find aristocratic British accented people classy.
These guys both were amazing. The guy who played Jimmy really did an amazing job looking like he had been through some shit and hadn't quite gotten over it. Especially in his eyes.
Pretty sure he was a heroin addict at the time. So probably wasn't that hard to appear depressed and done with life. To have the probable possibility of dying hovering over you every day.
I've watched Boardwalk Empire so many times now and it occurs to me that the two finest characters in the series are these two FICTIONAL ones, Jimmy Darmody and Richard Harrrow. And in this scene, they actually discuss fiction, with Harrow saying "the basis of fiction is that people have some sort of connection with each other . . . and they don't". But these two fictional characters disprove Harrow's assertion even as he says it; their friendship is instantaneous and sincere, based on shared past experiences and respect--one of the very best pieces of plot/character development in the show. What an amazing masterpiece this series is!
This show was so great. Awesome characters, impeccable setting, interesting story. It really had it all. These two were my favorite characters along with Chaulky
Most people are overwhelmed by an inner urge to lead a conversation with their interpretations about you. It's nice when they choose not to and still keep it natural.
Ha, Richard has such a fleeting "Ah, yeah, of course that WOULD be the title, wouldn't it" look on his face when Jimmy tells him the book is "The Tin Soldier." Jack Huston is a very talented actor; all of the little subtleties in his performance, the way he makes himself both sympathetic, innocent, yet ruthless all at the same time... I've gained total respect for him since I started watching him in this show.
never noticed Jimmy rolled his eyes when he realized the book title might be a vulnerable subject to Richard. It's like telling a very disabled person you just met you're reading the hunchback of dame.
Could be because they're both war veterans. Jimmy understand the burden Harrow carries on his shoulders since he too has seen the traumatizing things the trenches threw at the soldiers in frontlines. They both were also wounded, physically and mentally.
Definitely my favourite character. I just wish they gave awards to actors who don't have major roles, because this guy deserves something for this performance. Can't wait til next season.
i wanna know how it is he gives himself that deep raspy voice!!! XD Huston is british and has a very smooth sounding voice so im like -omg way to be a perfect actor XD
Two guys who could have saved each other, but they kept fighting a meaningless war, since they thought they were too grievously wounded to stop. They weren't.
@HelloThar9 I know, I was soo happy to hear that! I think after his first appearance he got such a good response, I don't know anyone who didn't like this character, and especially how good the acting was. Definitely talented, can't believe he hadn't gotten a role to show what he was capable of before this. Can you believe he was actually about to quit acting before he got this part? Really do not want to wait til next season lol.
I wish they had have ended Richard's story better than that. They made him make such a bumbling mistake. Blew chalky's daughter's head off. Then he gets shot himself and goes off somewhere and dies. Lol I like Richard, I wish his character had've gotten more before he died. Like maybe moving up the ladder in nucky's operaton.
Agree. The writers didn't treat Richard's character with the same respect given in the preceding seasons. I don't recall Richard having any motor skill issues or whatever and the way they ended it made him look like an incompetent buffoon. Only redeeming quality was Richard's "Final walk"
Yeah I think they were clueless what to do with Richard around season 4. He had that run in with the 2 guys in his sister's barn who he was doing murders for, but that storyline ended kind of weak. They could've did more with jimmy too, but from what I heard Michael Pitt was a nightmare to work with on set so they just killed him off. Jimmy and Richard were a bad ass team. They should've had their own spin off series. Lol
According to the "inside the episode" featurette I watched, they portrayed Richard's story in Season 4 as someone who couldn't endure the life of a killer anymore, tried to do something different instead, and was forced to kill again to keep Gillian from getting away with murder. But he couldn't kill as well as he used to partially because of his hand jury and partially because he isn't the same killer he was before.
To the lost! 🥃 Darmody & Harrow we’re a bad ass team that should have stuck around a lot longer together. If you wanna kill off a major character like Jimmy that early, at least have Richard sign his life over to become Nucky’ top assassin after Nucky does him the favor of rigging the court case and having Richard get parental rights to Tommy with Julia. Would have saved Nucky in the end possibly.
Harrow is quite the Doctor Jekyll/Mr. Hyde character. On one hand, he seems sort of shy and sensitive, but then he casually suggests killing four people.

I don't know the actors name, but he's one of the best characters of the entire show. He does a great job with his character and really shows great portrayal of traumatic stress & difficulties after a life altering situation. He doesn't show full blown post war symptoms, which is great, because it plays into his character as being strong willed and being able to cope with scenes of intense violence, pain & affliction, even though he's more of a loner.
Interesting scene, two flawd killers Jimmy being mainly quite empty and disconnected, Richard being extremely lonely like a insecure little kid giving his book and showing him his stuff. Being human and polite. Imagine doing that now-a-days with everyones noses planted into their phones, ignoring human contact and seeking online attention. Pretty sure you would end up being ignored, not taken serious, getting a look like ur weird or insane or getting a rude response like "f*ck off or mind ur own f*cking business" or whatever.
For those who don't know, I very much appreciate the verbiage. You never hear the term "marksman", the highest level a "sniper" can reach. It's always "sharpshooter." Por que?
@sirbizzyd3 I then cannot wait til the second season, I wish he had been in more scenes in the first, mostly because he became my favourite character and this guy is an amazing actor, and has become one of my favourite actors now.
At first I thought Jimmy was trying to be nice to him, then once his face did that shift I realized he just needed a killer to help him get over the top (pun intended) in the mob world. Great scene that shows the insanity of man, because no one comes to you out of friendship; they either want or need something from you.
@Danny2113182 Whoa! I mentioned that on the last video I watched. Only, I think his character (strangely) reminds me of Fallout's ghoul characters in general. The scarred face is so incidental it's almost hard to believe it is - with that voice.

I like the part at 0:25 where Jimmy quietly realizes how the title of the book relates to Richard's condition
I just picked up on that. Good catch
Best characters
Well fuck them right??

He already kinda did...
He only became this awesome because his face got half blasted off, he wasn't this awesome before...

I like how he even puts it up to make a point he's serious and not making fun of Richard.
Bro he murders people for money
Didn't he murder a bunch of innocent people for money?
His reaction right before he had to say “The Tin Soldier” 😂😂😂. Shows he was sensitive to war heroes like him too.
Beau StBowie i'm not the only one who still watchin haha
This show deserved so much more attention. Absolutely amazing writing and characters.

Stunning scene….both know each other without actually knowing one another! 😎😊👌
That's what soldiers are like, i think
This video should be titled: "Richard Harrow: Master of Small Talk."
Love these guys. Both so well written. I studied WW1 poetry in school. These actors bring it to life.
Beautifully acted. I almost stopped watching the show when they killed of Darmody. Took me 6 months to go back to it.
I didn't like that either if you were going to kill him it should've been way later in the show.
These guys both were amazing. The guy who played Jimmy really did an amazing job looking like he had been through some shit and hadn't quite gotten over it. Especially in his eyes.
Pretty sure he was a heroin addict at the time. So probably wasn't that hard to appear depressed and done with life. To have the probable possibility of dying hovering over you every day.
I wish I had one good friend,like Mr.Harrow
+TotallyNot aCreep l true ,very true
You would have to be a friend like Mr. Harrow to have a friend like Mr. Harrow.
The first person to be nice to Richard and it bought a lifetime of loyalty.
His sister was good to him too.
Please turn down the volume. I need to hear the atoms and molecules shift in my room.

Love this scene. It sets up the entire next season. Brilliant writing and acting guys/gals.

It's almost like they trusted each other absolutely from the second they met.
i wanna know how it is he gives himself that deep raspy voice!!! XD Huston is british and has a very smooth sounding voice so im like -omg way to be a perfect actor XD
Love this character.
only but the best! love this scene
I like when Richard smiles after he lies, like he knew it would work regardless. My favorite character on the show!
How's life been after 12 years? Are you still alive
Your comment is older than some of the people in this comment section
Two fantastic actors.
I hope they explore Richard's backstory a bit more like they did with Jimmy's at the end of season 2 as I think his character is really fascinating.
These two were amazing together
It's interesting to hear how Richard's voice has evolved. It's almost like it's gotten easier for him to speak in his current condition.
Two guys who could have saved each other, but they kept fighting a meaningless war, since they thought they were too grievously wounded to stop. They weren't.
Love him!!!!!!!
Phenomenal character. Boardwalk Empire, best show on tv since Band of Brothers.
amazing character
"Id eat malarkey"
My favorite scene in the entire show , if u had a friend this loyal , u would definitely know why i say that 💯
Best scene in the whole show in my view.

Smoking in the hospital. That was still aloud when I was a child in the 80s.
E online said that he was going to be made a series regular in season 2 :)
Richard Harrow spin off series? Got my vote.
Interesting scene, two flawd killers Jimmy being mainly quite empty and disconnected, Richard being extremely lonely like a insecure little kid giving his book and showing him his stuff. Being human and polite. Imagine doing that now-a-days with everyones noses planted into their phones, ignoring human contact and seeking online attention. Pretty sure you would end up being ignored, not taken serious, getting a look like ur weird or insane or getting a rude response like "f*ck off or mind ur own f*cking business" or whatever.
anyone else reminded of Kiefer Sutherlands character in Dark City?
agreed!
First monster to see him as a human being.
Some people realize this but a lot of people don't they're both vets they were in the war together different places

The only fault in the portrayal of Mr. Harrow is his shaking hands without standing.
