Dames Darmody is a fictional character from one of the most popular HBO series, Boardwalk Empire. Terence Witner, the creator of the project, invited Michael Pitt to this role. Visually, the man is very similar to the young Leonardo DiCaprio. This can be seen in the photo of James Darmody. How did the fate of this character develop?
Prototype
The image and biography of James Darmody are almost completely written off from Jimmy Boyd. This man was also a gangster, but he lived in a later period than the one described by the television series itself. There is another difference. The thing is, Jimmy never worked as Nucky's driver.
Biography
At the time of the birth of her son, Gillian was barely 13 years old herself. The girl was an orphan, but despite this, she managed to rise to her feet and raise the child herself.
James Darmody was patronized by the city treasurer of Atlantic City and part-time boss of the underground world, Enoch Thompson, who in certain circles was nicknamed Nucky. He even managed to place a young man in a prestigiousuniversity and read him the place of his successor. That's just the guy began to show character early. The man left the university and went to defend France at the front of the First World War. He returned to his hometown only three years later, having received a serious leg injury and becoming an experienced killer.
Having no education, James Darmody could only get into the service of "Nucky" as a personal driver. The character of the guy was adamant and he decided to prove to the boss that he was capable of more. He attacked some of Enoch Thompson's clients. In order not to set up the boss, the man had to leave his hometown for a while and move to Chicago. In the capital of the criminal world of America, the guy was met by his old friend Capone.
When his case was hushed up, James Darmody returned to his hometown. He got close to Naki again. But now the guy's ambitions are already going wild. On the advice of his own father, he became a member of the conspiracy against Enoch Thompson. Subsequently, James repents of his act. But Nucky won't forgive him. At the end of the second season, the mob boss kills Darmody with his own hands.
Relationships
Before being sent to the front, gangster James Darmody began an affair with a young artist named Angela. The girl even became pregnant from him and bore him a son. That's just a man at that time already fought on the fronts of the First World War. He did not write letters to his girlfriend, as he believed that he would die in France. Straightawayafter returning, he reappeared on the threshold of her house, but only this meeting did not bring anything good. The guy had changed a lot, and Angela was just afraid of him. The son did not recognize his own father at all.
Everything was aggravated by another piquant moment. The fact is that Angela managed to have an affair with the wife of a local photographer. She was even going to emigrate with her to Europe.
After attacking Thompson's clients, James Darmody unexpectedly left for Chicago and just as unexpectedly returned. Angela hated such unpredictability of the guy. She wanted a stable permanent relationship. As a result, the man simply stopped communicating with her. He only spoke to his son. Angela's friend betrayed her and went to Paris alone, she even sent her a greeting card from there. Here is such a kind of mockery.
As a result, James Darmody and Angela managed to reconcile. They had a serious talk with each other and decided to just erase the past years from life and start over.
Communicating with parents
While James was in the army, Gillian resumed contact with his father. The danger that threatens the son only brought the couple closer. James didn't want to talk to him. The first dialogue between the son and father took place only towards the end of the first season of the series.
Story changes
The creator of the show has always said that he would end up killing Michael Pitt's character. However, Terence Witner could not even imagine that this would happen so early. He planned to get rid of the young ambitious mobster in seasons 3-4project. But fate has made its own adjustments. The fact is that actor Debney Coleman, who played the role of James Darmody's father, was diagnosed with oncology. Due to illness, Debney was unable to continue working on the project, and the entire script had to be quickly rewritten. As a result, Terence Whitner decided to kill one of the main characters at the end of the second season of the project.
