'Boardwalk Empire' Final Season: Star Vincent Piazza Talks Golden Cigarette Lighter & Role On HBO Series [VIDEO]
When any series comes to an end, cast and crew begin to notice the "last" of everything, from the last scene with a certain actor to the last time a set is used.
The prohibition drama Boardwalk Empire is in the process of filming its final season and with the recent release of the new Clint Eastwood film Jersey Boys, actor Vincent Piazza has a lot going on. The actor plays Tommy Devito in Eastwood's adaptation of the musical Jersey Boys. He's also been a regular on Boardwalk Empire as Lucky Luciano since the series began.
The actor sat down with People [featured below] to promote his new musical and while most questions were about the film, he did get the opportunity to talk a little Boardwalk Empire.
Piazza drew some questions out of a bin at random, the first of which read "If you could steal anything from your characters' wardrobes, what would it be?"
The actor admitted that his prop of choice would be the golden cigarette lighter used by his character on Boardwalk Empire. "That thing is amazing," he emphasized.
The New York native nabbed his role on the show after giving his agent a tape he filmed based on a gangster concept. "I had been fascinated with classic gangsters for a couple of years before I ever auditioned," the actor admitted in one interview with Gotham. He got the audition for Boardwalk Empire because of that tape, which the agent saved for a few years before the role of Lucky Luciano came around and it was passed on to HBO.
Boardwalk Empire returns for its fifth and final season Fall 2014.
