Albert Anastasia


with a little hipster goatee/van dyke? I don't think so. Out of all the inaccuracies for some reason that grates on me most. The reasoning behind including that just kind of flaunts the disdain for the actual history that was in so much of this production. I still watched the whole thing. Before the first episode I was actually holding out hope they would start with the real beginning like Guiseppe Morello, the "Clutch Hand".

Agreed. I have no idea why the producers chose an actor who looks absolutely nothing like "The Lord High Executioner"

Seriously, how hard would it have been to find a heavyset middle-aged Italian guy from New York who wants to play a gangster. This is just lazy casting or a favor to a family member.

reply

Actually the actor that played Anastasia is from the Bronx and 100% Italian. No favors were done there.
