2010-2014: Steve Buscemi plays Nucky Thompson, a political boss and bootlegger in Prohibition-era Atlantic City. The HBO series is based loosely on the real-life Enoch “Nucky” Johnson, the Republican Party political boss of Atlantic City, but the fictional Nucky is more violent and tangles with a succession of gangsters based on real-life Mob members. Famed director Martin Scorsese (Casino) was one of the producers.
