Not Very Good in Boardwalk Empire

I don't think he's a bad actor, but he's not particularly good either (this is the only movie or show I've ever seen him in). In my opinion, he is miscast as a war hero. For one thing, he looks like he is about 15 years old in the show. Also, he doesn't really look (or seem to genuinely act) tough or menacing so it's kinda hard for me to accept him as a ruthless, cold-blooded killer/ganster. Maybe that's because his acting wasn't good-- I don't know because there has only been one episode so far.

I know this is the Michael Pitt board so most of you will probably disagree with me here; I'm not attacking anyone who likes his work, I'm just stating my opinion based on the one episode of the one thing I've ever seen him in. His acting just seemed kinda wooden to me.

Who knows? Maybe his acting will grow on me when I see more episodes. If that happens, I'll recant this post...but as of now, I'm not impressed.
