not bad drunk Dave.. . that's was real good how edited & put it together. . I first clicked on it thinking it was gonna b some bullshit, but you hooked it up. that was a nice piece.

In real life a Seattle prohibition agent got tired of seeing all of the criminals he arrested back out on the streets and keeping their money so he quit his job and became a bootlegger. Became the most prolific bootlegger in the northwest, he started the first radio station in Seattle and used it to communicate with his organization and coordinate smuggling efforts. He was never caught or charged

In my opinion, Van Alden was one of the most dangerous individuals in that series. And the longer the series continued, the more fierce he became.

The great thing about this character was that he was an *awful* law enforcement agent but a FANTASTIC criminal.

Probably one of the best characters in the entire show. Dude shoulda won an award for that role. It was amazing

Ive never seen this show and have consumed everything I know about it via youtube videos but this guy fascinates me the most of the entire show. The actor is amazing, the character seems extremely well written. And for a drunk man, youve edited this excellently. Really nice work for sure.

I always felt the van Alden scenes were he is acting "normal" are the best, especially early on. Later he understands that what he does isn't normal, but early in his arc his psychopathic behavior is displayed without any difference or irritation. That was really great acting.

Michael Shannon’s acting is just surreal- Nelson Van Alden is the pinnacle of what a “loose cannon” could be described as.

I've never gone from hating a character so much than rooting for him so much. What a great character.

At the end, You see how Van Alden grabbed Capone's little head and shook it like a rag doll? Lol

“I used to believe in god. But now, I don’t believe in anything at all.” Michael Shannon is the BEST😁👍

The tulips never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

He was such a complex character and this series was so well acted. I didn't realize the actor who played Al Capone was British until I saw him in an interview. Beautifully done. Thank you.

"Now George, be reasonable!" Love Van Alden. Second only to Richard Harrow.

Thank you for reminding me that this was the best show that was ever on television. Had been a while. I forgot how incredible this show was and how binging it was an activity I looked forward to with a child like enthusiasm. Thanks Dave.

In his last moments he tried to be, at least, what he thought a good man should be. He stumbled and fell, but he *tried.* And that's worth something.

He was a force to be reckoned with based upon his experience in his career/s. A patient man getting pushed around to the point of exploding, and making his patience known to criminal associates that were later aware of his behaviors.

My first impression of Nelson van Alden was that he was a psycho. I wasn’t wrong. Every episode with him in it proved my first impression was right. I loved watching him every week.

And with his last breath Nelson Casper Van Alden returned to Jesus, the side of good, and thus redeemed himself.

what a poetic character arc. In the end he became the instrument of god he always wanted to be through his death the agent was able to get the ledgers to take Capone down

This is a truly stellar edit! I love how you cut back to all the references Nelson made, and that the music didn't overwhelm the narrative. Really well done, mate.

Season 1 I couldn’t stand Nelson. Season 5. He was my favorite character on the show.

Very well done. The music was perfect. Very powerful acting.

his story arc is something else! i wish all actors in hollywood could watch this series so many great characters!!!!

An excellent edit. Absolutely compelling!

i love you drunk Dave. that ending made me smile. thank you for your loving care.

such a good actor on such a good show. unfortunately HBO didn't give it a proper sendoff. they just rushed through the ending.

Great edit too such a tragic character. Enjoyed watching!

Brilliant edit...... Can't believe I've only just seen this.......well done

this actor and the character are awesome

Very nicely done, will be looking for good things from you in the future.

very impressive editing drunk dave. you really built the tension. i really loved this show. great casting. never ever sober up drunk dave, never

awesome!! one of the best montage i have seen! thanks!

I am so happy you made this video thanku

Michael Shannon deserves an Oscar for his performance.

Amazing actor, fantastic work

I watched several times.Good work.

ILMAO... Your comment at the end was funny as hell...........

this is so awesome. thank you

The 17(?) fps count makes his movements and expressions that much creepier. He takes on a Frankenstein persona: goodness fated to be eclipsed by a dark reality

This was very well put together I’m sure Terry Winter would be proud

Nice! :) :) Very well done. That "final touch" was awesome! :D :D

When I first saw Nelson Van Alden I was like is this guy one of Elliot Ness's untouchables? Then I saw Van Alden whipping himself with a belt while quoting scripture and said OK this is going to be an interesting character.

Nelson definitely had above average strength . You can tell by how he effortlessly throws people around .

Awesome job man! That was the best!

Michael Shenon is such a brilliant actor. I recognized him as General Zod from comments.

"I'll remember. I'll remember. I'll remember!"

One of the most interesting and complex characters to ever be written for TV.

Van Alden was my favourite character all the way trough, I was so annoyed when he was interrogated that second time with Capone cause of course Al had plot armour but such a character as Nelson would have gone for the gun immediately and blasted Capone even if he himself could never have exited that room too.

I love the ending of this video especially with the text at the end

Loved your last Quote Drunk Dave.

I love Boardwalk Emprire! Just subscribed!

What range Shannon has. An escape artist of type cast. From dangerous killer to Mr Roger's mark he can play it all.

Great job David....you da man!!

4:15 what a slap lol. Its easy to forget how big Micahel Shannon is not sure if it was the casting or some trick of film making, but he pretty much loomed over many of the other actors

That was awsome dave

It's been a while since I've seen this show, but I remember Van Alden was one of the highlights.

Great edit of another fantastically twisted boardwalk character.

Awesome editing drunk Dave Hey listen I'm drunk right now as I watch so I really appreciate your video awesome stuff thank you thank you🙏❤🙂🎉🤝

Drunk Dave, an excellent bit a piecework if ever I saw one, SKOL!!

Well done. Compelling and rich.

music is way too loud, dave

An awesome Vid .... and I Dig the Ending

Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, and The Sopranos - three best series so far this century! Complex characters, intriguing storylines, and just the right amount of, but not gratuitous, violence

Pretty damn good super cut!

Well made video, compliments!

Damn near ripped the head off the agent he slapped!!

Excellent editing.

Great Video of a Great Character❤

his character arc was incredible

A bizzarre character who still acted like it was the 18th century. He had that very old obscure manner where he had no emotions with anything

I wonder if, in the Boardwalk Empire-verse, it was Van Alden buried in Capone's vault--boy, that would give Geraldo Rivera a shock...

yo bravo Drunk Dave ! great edit ❤

One of my favourite characters in any series.

My favorite character indeed

Great work drunk dave

Music volume is up way too high. Never have music in a video where the music drowns out the dialogue

I enjoyed the loud music. Yall clearly aint drunk enough. Cheers to Dave 🍻

The thumbnail for this video had me laughing my ass off... 😂

Well done Drunk Dave, well done.

excellent editing my friend

Well done, DD.

✨This is superbly well done, if the creativity herein. Was in fact influenced by the consumption of alcohol. Maybe I should try it once in awhile.✨

It was that prick at the Iron Company who really broke Georgie’s moral code.

Whoa! Thanks!

Amazing job

Amazing character 👏

"A known class of criminals, for whom murder is just a means of doing business." Tony Soprano:

He have the worst death in the whole serie it’s like they just wanted to kill him

Bravo. Nuff said.

Needed more scenes with him and eli teaming up

Good job my dude

good job! PERFECT

What an amazing actor

Is the music by Silver Mt Zion?

Well done, chief!

This had the opportunity to be great if it wasn't for the 10 frames a second.

What a great show, so many great characters!

Loved the video, Subscribed for the legal mombo jombo.

Dave what's the title of the musical score you used?
