Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Absentee Actor]]: Notably, only Steve Buscemi has appeared in every episode of the series. Unsurprisingly for a show that spans so many locations and features so many regulars it is not uncommon for actors to not appear in some episodes:
** Chalky and Al Capone appear in about half the episodes in most seasons though Chalky, because of his popularity with the fans, gets a big boost in Season 4 where he is basically the second lead and appears in more episodes than anybody besides Nucky.
** Van Alden goes from appearing in all but one episode of Season 1 to appearing in a mere five episodes in Season 3.
** In Season 4, Margaret is entirely gone for the first 5 episodes and appears in a scant 4 episodes afterwards. Lucky Luciano also only appears in 4 episodes.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Harry takes Nucky to golf in "Gimcrack & Bunkum" (Harry's actor Christopher McDonald played the bad guy in ''[[Happy Gilmore]]'').
* [[Cast the Expert]]: Margot Bingham (Daughter Maitland) is a Broadway singer in real life.
Line 16 ⟶ 20:
** Washington-born Jeffrey Wright plays Trinidarian gangster Valentin Narcisse.
** Polish Jew character Jake Guzik is played by Italian-American actor Joe Caniano.
** Sigrid Mueller is played by German-Danish actress Christiane Seidel.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Bork" for Sigrid Mueller.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** Before appearing on ''Boardwalk Empire'', Stephen Graham was famous for playing the violent, but sympathetic, skinhead Combo in ''[[This Is England]]''.
Line 28 ⟶ 34:
** The role of Will, Eli's oldest son, was recast for Season 4. The first actor (Kevin Csolak) has blonde, straight hair; the second actor (Ben Rosenfield) has red, curly hair. The fact that his brothers have been consistently cast only highlights it.
** Jess Smith was played by an extra in the first season.
** Carolyn Rothstein was played by Jennifer Ferrin in Season 2 and Shae D'Lyn in Season 5.
* [[Playing Against Type]]:
** While Steve Buscemi is no stranger to playing criminals, he's usually cast as weaselly supporting characters rather than the suave man in charge.
