he's based on Enoch Nucky Johnson, but I only know that because I saw the pre-show. they said they didn't want to use his real name so they could give him more room as a semi-fictional character.

Frankie Yale was a new york guy right? I really need to read some more stuff on the Outfit. I read this book a few years back called Double Cross about Giancana. It was a good read but it was written by his brother who big-upped him so much, you'd think he was the most powerful man who ever walked the earth

I've always liked Michael Pitt, I don't have much doubt he can pull it off. Stephen Graham impressed the shit out of me as a psycho in This is England, so I i have faith in him here. My biggest concern going in was Luciano. Having all these young versions reminded me of that movie Mobsters which is a bad thing of course lol, but i liked what I saw of young Lucky so far.
