On tonight's Boardwalk Empire...

who is the actor playing the young (20s, not the kid) Nucky? If he isn't Steve's son, he sure sounds/looks like he should be.

Any ideas?

Guy's name is Marc Pickering -- English actor. I had an OMG moment when he first appeared -- the look, the mannerisms, even the TEETH were spot on.

And, was that a younger Commodore in the one scene in the office? Sure as hell sounded like Dabney Coleman.

But, yeah: Hats off to BE casting -- Pickering was GENIUS.

(And I have to say, Michael Shannon got some very good lines last night. You can always count on Mueller/Van Alden for comic relief.)

Hats off to Marc Pickering. And Michael Shannon is always reliably good.
