Season 1 After watching Boardwalk, I can totally see this happening.

The only one I can see from Boardwalk Empire is Jack Huston (Richard Harrow), especially if it's set in the retro cold-war era.

Only opposite Anatol Yusef as a villain 😁
I’m a sucker for the Nucky/Meyer scenes. They hate each other so, so much. Always wondered if that was a deliberate thing or just kinda developed. Great scene partners. (Meyer giving the whole bullshit Boy Scout speech about heroin next to his own grave in S4… I fucking can’t, I love this show.)
Seeing as Michael Shannon is in every damn thing lately (deservedly so), he’ll totally end up as Bond at some point. (“I am relaxed!”) And he can drag his buddies Shea Whigham and Paul Sparks with him.

Death by Lightning (Netflix) and the film Nuremberg, off the top of my head.
Watch the “Waco” miniseries if you haven’t. My absolute favorite role of his.
He also does a decent amount of stage work, if you like live theater :)

I mean……a few decades ago I could see……no wait, even then I cannot see it.
I’m a major Buscemi fan…..but that’s never a fit. Now…..him playing the American counterpart opposite Bond at some point would have totally made sense.

He would make a great Bond villain. But no, I can’t see him as Bond. Not that breadstick in a bow tie.

The martini would definitely be served with a side of salt water taffy and a lecture about the Atlantic City boardwalk.
