Supporting Cast of Golden Days – Boardwalk Empire

Here are some of the actors who appeared in “Golden Days for Boys and Girls,” the Season 5 premiere of Boardwalk Empire (9/8/2014).

Two recurring characters died violently, but then again — on Boardwalk Empire — who doesn’t? Ivo Nandi played mob boss Joe Masseria in 10 episodes from 2011 until he was dispatched in a manner quite similar to the way the real gangster got his sendoff on April 15, 1931.

Patch Darragh played Margaret Thompson’s boss, Robert Bennett, in 2 episodes of Season 4. In his third appearance, he died by his own hand in front of everyone at the brokerage firm where they worked. At least he got to see “The Front Page” and Mickey Mouse sail away on a turtle in “The Castaway” the night before.

The third dead body in the season opener belonged to a machete-wielding Cuban who, quite inexplicably, attacked Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) in a Havana hotel lobby. Nucky’s bodyguard, played by Paul Calderon, put a stop to that and here is the would-be assassin while he still has his ear.

Lee Godart played Maxime Ronis and Michael Siberry played Senator Wendell Lloyd. Nucky took Lloyd to meet with Ronis, who is a Bacardi rum bigwig about getting an exclusive deal on importing the rum into the USA when Prohibition is repealed.

There’s speculation that Meyer Lansky (Anatol Yusef) was behind that machete assault on Nucky, but is it possible that Maxime Ronis was behind it? He did make a remark about Nucky’s need for a bodyguard that made the Boardwalk Emperor a bit uneasy.

Warner Miller played Milton. He and Chalky White (Michael Kenneth Williams) will be doing business together after their escape from the chain gang because Chalky knows how to use a telephone and Milton doesn’t. Nucky paid it forward with a little business lesson for an enterprising young Cuban boy, played by Juan Mirt. Surely, Nucky was thinking about his own mentor, the Commodore, (flashback cast here) while he completely ignored Senator Lloyd.

Boardwalk Empire S5 E1

We have no idea who play the two money-collecting ragazzi at the meeting of the mob bosses where Lucky Luciano (Vincent Piazza) was cutting his palm with a knife and shaking hands with everybody else who cut their own hand — but they sure were cute.
