Anatol Yusef's on-screen version hails from Poland, but other than that is very similar. Remus was a pharmacist who later became a wealthy bootlegger after cashing in on demand for booze during Prohibition, for which he served two years at Atlanta's Federal Penitentiary.
Gaston Means: Boardwalk Empire's Gaston Means played by Stephen Root may have been ordered to kill associate Jess Smith by Harry Daugherty, but in real life, there is no reason to think this order ever happened. And yet, Means was a skilled con man who was eventually found guilty of grand larceny. Harry M. Attorney General of the same name, who was indicted, but never jailed, on federal charges of fraud. Arnold Rothstein: Real-life Arnold Rothstein was a high profile gambler and gangster who famously fixed the World Series, just like Michael Stuhlbarg's on-screen version.
Lucky Luciano: Charles "Lucky" Luciano is often considered the father of modern day organized crime in the U. Vincent Piazza's Boardwalk version seems destined for infamy, just like his real-life counterpart.
John Torrio: Some critics say that John Torrio, Al Capone's predecessor and mentor, was somewhat more sophisticated and image-conscious than Greg Antonacci's Boardwalk version. He is based on the real life politician of the same name. He appears as a recurring character in the first three seasons, and as the tertiary antagonist in Season 3.
He worked as a lawyer before moving into politics. In the first season Daugherty is the campaign manager for senator and candidate for the Republican presidential nomination Warren Harding. He throws a reception at the beginning of the conference and invites Edge. Edge sends Nucky Thompson in his place. Harding is not considered a front runner for the nomination and faces competition from General Wood and Governor of Illinois Frank Orren Lowden.
Daugherty strides over to greet Nucky and introduces himself before offering a drink. Nucky requests bourbon and Daugherty snaps his fingers at a waiter. Nucky says that this depends on what you want and Daugherty says that he has been told that Nucky controls the votes of the New Jersey delegation. Daugherty tells Nucky that he believes Harding can win the Republican nomination and with Edge as his Vice Presidential running mate they could win the White House.
Nucky doubtfully calls Harding a long shot. Daugherty counters that Wood and Lowden are front runners but have both been tainted by a recent senate inquiry started by Senator Hiram Johnson. He asserts that the inquiry also reflects badly on Johnson. Nucky summarises the field as devoid of first rate candidates with Harding being the best second rate choice.
A pair of passing Harding supporters compliment Daugherty on the dinner and he promises them more than just steak if they vote his way. Nucky tells Daugherty that he has an appetite of his own and Daugherty offers to introduce him to the candidate. Daugherty returns and introduces Harding and his wife Florence. Nucky is distracted by the cries of the baby and Daugherty moves Harding on.
While at the reception Nucky notices Harding's mistress Nan Britton carrying her baby and being refused entry by Daugherty's associate Jess Smith. The following morning Nucky meets with Daugherty in the otherwise empty convention hall at the Chicago Coliseum. Daugherty calls their meeting clandestine and Nucky jokes that Daugherty is no stranger to back room negotiations. Daugherty glances at their expansive surroundings and says that it is quite a back room.
Nucky tells him that he needs to go home urgently. He tells Daugherty that he has made enquiries and has been told by Judge Graves that Daugherty is a good man. Nucky wonders if this is true and Daugherty compares himself to Babe Ruth. Daugherty says that he thought Nucky would back Wood and Nucky says that he expects Wood to deadlock with Lowden. Daugherty asserts that the delegates will cross over to Harding if this happens.
Nucky tells him not to expect Harding to be nominated early but that by the time the fifth or sixth ballot is held the delegates will be desperate to nominate someone who can win. Nucky promises to put the Jersey delegation behind Harding if things go as they have predicted.
Daugherty assumes that Nucky wants Edge to be nominated for Vice President in return. Nucky asks for the opposite and Daugherty asks what he is missing. Nucky elucidates that Edge double crossed him and gave away his road appropriations funding to Jersey City Mayor Frank Hague a Democrat.
Daugherty wonders how Nucky knows this; Nucky observes that Hague is just as two faced and was his source as well as a friend.
Daugherty asks which lady and Nucky is surprised that there is more than one. Daugherty says that he has lost count and that one woman is blackmailing Harding.
Nucky wonders if this is Britton and Harding says that it is not her and that she is merely in love. Daugherty confirms that the baby belongs to Harding. Nucky offers to sequester Britton with Margaret in Atlantic City until Harding is elected and says that he expects to receive his road funding in return.
Daugherty says he will need to sell the idea to Harding and Nucky asserts that Daugherty must be quite the salesman. Nucky asserts that Eddie Cantor is better and strides towards the exit. Harding later wins the nomination on the tenth ballot.
When Harding is elected president he makes Daugherty the Attorney General. In season 2 Daugherty initially refuses to help Nucky in his power struggle with the commodore claiming that he is too new to office and that he cannot intercede in state proceedings.
He attends an event to mark the beginning of the construction of the Atlantic County War Memorial. Nucky is careful to note Daugherty's presence in his speech and Daugherty stands and gives the crowd a wave. He receives a round of applause and then proceeds to read the list of departed soldiers. After the event Daugherty and Nucky play a round of golf.
In the changing room Nucky complains about Darmody.
