Edward “Eddie” Kessler (played by Anthony Laciura), is Nucky Thompson’s “Man Friday.” German is his native tongue, and he therefore has a very thick accent when speaking English.
Kessler is the somewhat hapless assistant of current city treasurer Nucky Thompson. As a German immigrant, he performs his duties as required, but routinely misunderstands or is misunderstood by his boss, as well as others. There is often an unintended comical after-effect of his best-of-intentions. Eddie is always on call and ready to provide Nucky with anything he may want or need, be it as common as a chauffeur, or something much more sinister. Interestingly, it is revealed that he carries a pistol, and is also a decent shot with it. boardwalk empire dvd
Nucky sleeps and works in a suite at the Ritz Carlton hotel on the boardwalk. Nucky spends the evening before prohibition comes into effect partying to celebrate the fortune he plans to make through bootlegging. As is typical for Nucky, he sleeps in late the next day. Eddie is left to field Nucky’s visitors including Margaret Schroeder and Chalky White. Eddie enters Nucky’s bedroom and finds him asleep with his girlfriend Lucy Danziger. Eddie wakes Nucky and tells him that Margaret wants to see him. After their meeting Nucky tells Eddie that he cannot make any more appointments. Nucky spends the rest of the day travelling on business with his driver Jimmy Darmody. Nucky arranges to supply New York gangster Arnold Rothstein with alcohol and sells him a shipment of 100 cases.
