Nucky Thompson :: A Different Kind Of Dangerous
Have you been watching HBO’s Boardwalk Empire? I have and can highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys period crime drama, specifically gangster dramas. The series is centered around Enoch ‘Nucky’ Thompson, Treasurer of Atlantic City, during the 20′s era of prohibition and vice. Interesting enough, the character of Nucky Thompson is based on a real life Atlantic City tycoon named Enoch ‘Nucky’ Johnson. The red carnation-wearing prohibition boss is beautifully played by Steve Buscemi who once again, proves to be one of the most interesting and remarkable character actors of our day. Steve Buscemi is one of those actors that no matter what he’s doing, you know it’s worth the price to see him do it because it’s always going to be good.
Nucky Thompson is an extremely complex character. He’s highly intelligent, ruthless in his business dealings and also in some of his personal dealings, but not in a violent way usually. It’s obvious that Nucky takes care of his relationships and he likes being the one who makes people happy and satisfied. Politically, he plays the game better than anyone, playing each side of an issue against each other while being the voice of action to both.
Nucky Thompson may not be the kind of tough guy Al Capone was but he had his own way of exacting his kind of justice and often it was worse than anything Capone could do to you. One thing is for sure, you didn’t want to be the enemy of Nucky Thompson. It’s that kind of slick ruthlessness that I think makes him so interesting. On one hand he is quite warm-hearted and caring. On the other hand, he can definitely be a terrible foe. That’s what gave me the idea for my latest Nucky Thompson tee shirt design.
Don’t Make Me Get All ‘Nucky’ Up In Here
This Nucky Thompson tee shirt features a very funny saying “Don’t Make Me Get All Nucky Up In Here” in beautiful period typography and includes Nucky Thompson’s signature red carnation. It’s a humorous and fitting tribute to the show that fans love.

Hey,
You have got an entertaining article there. Actually I am one of Steve Buscemi fans, I am that eager to see his movies and tv series even though it would cost me that much. It is awesome that he has a new series. So eager to watch it.

Nucky Thompson is a very compex and contradictory character… And it is a very rare thing for serials today, that’s why episodes are so interesting… hope the character will be developed further.
Good sense of humor form Nucky Thompson. This is really a funny quote to have in a T shirt. I would love to have one of those in my collection.
