Good catch!

Capone was 5-10, which is average height now, but was considered tall back in the 1920's. He was also beefy which is probably why he was also called the Big Fellow.

The actor playing Capone, Stephen Graham , is 5-5, which is notably short and was probably short even back in the 1920's. So (pun intended) it's a bit of a stretch, but I think he captures the character's pugnacity and relative fearlessness pretty well.


Ha ha ha...He IS short. But, I do agree, from the short scenes he's had, I don't have a problem picturing him as Capone.

As far as the Nucky character, I can't tell what his motive is being "nice" to the wife of the now deceased wife beater. For some reason, I'm not quite use to Buscemi in a leading role, since I've basically only have seen him in the Sopranos. ohwell
