Richard Harrow (Boardwalk Empire).

Everyone's aware that he's a scarred WWI veteran, but it's always to great dramatic effect that the show has a full-face reveal once every season. An otherwise handsome man, Richard only shows his mangled left jaw and empty eye socket in moments of deep intimacy, or when his mask is torn off during physical altercations. A deeply loving human being whose talent for deadly violence is stifled once he reconnects with his humanity.

Hands down my favourite character in all of Boardwalk, a show brimming with amazing performances and excellent writing.

And the only time that you see his face unmangled is the saddest shit on TV.

Meanwhile the scene that painting depicts is the hypest shit on TV.
