Robert De Niro in Cigar Aficionado magazine talk about Boardwalk Empire

In the October 2015 cover story of the magazine  Cigar Aficionado, De Niro  admits the magazine that  Scorsese  never asked to participate in the series.

 "No, Marty did not ask me, but it's fine," De Niro told the magazine.

Shanken jokes that was because  De Niro  not watch much TV so the Oscar-winning actor, responds: "No, he had his reasons, and maybe you will not even have occurred to me about it."

Reading their statements, we can think that  De Niro  would have liked to be on the show but is shaped and actually has no problem in getting rid of praise for the director who has directed him in 8 films, including  Casino. Moreover, the actor says he loves working with Scorsese: "It's very easy, ignore your ideas, is very, very flexible, and has everything you can to all actors," De Niro says . "However, it is very clear as director and guide you in the direction he feels he must. He gives great support. "

Boardwalk Empire  did not have De Niro but had starring  Steve Buscemi.  The series had five seasons on  HBO  and recently learned that one of its producers, the actor  Mark Wahlberg  want to make a movie.
