What Does The 'Boardwalk Empire' Cast Want To Take From The Set?

You would too.

The final season of "Boardwalk Empire" is about to begin, and that means we'll all have to say goodbye to the technical masterpiece of the Prohibition-era show. Every piece of the design, from the sets to the time-traveling special effects, made this show feel so authentic, but perhaps the most impressive productions were the suits.

The entire show was tailored to a tee, with most of the male characters sporting costume suits from series designer John A. Dunn and tailor Martin Greenfield. At the red carpet premiere for the fifth season, I asked some of the cast whether they took home any souvenirs from the set.

Michael Stuhlbarg, who played Arnold Rothstein, hadn't gotten any yet, but hoped there was a possibility. "I did not yet, but maybe I will. They were gorgeous, and most of mine were handmade."

Anatol Yusef, a.k.a. Meyer Lansky, used his 5' 4.5" height to get a suit, but he wasn't aware that his cast mates weren't as lucky. "I didn't know that [people didn't get suits]," he said. "No comment. Michael [Shtuhlbarg's] suit is probably going to be worn by someone. There' s not many people that are going to be wearing my suit unless they're deciding to weight lift for Turkey for the Olympics or something."

Another cast member was in the process of getting a suit. Vincent Piazza, who plays Lucky Luciano, said "I'm in the process of trying to walk away. Right now, it's more of a crawl away with suits. I'm waiting not to get caught. Hopefully I'll score a suit or two."

"Boardwalk Empire" premieres on September 7.
