Al is Deadwood, IMO, he is the man that has got his finger on the pulse of the town, he runs Deadwood, Al Swearengen Al has got his finger on the pulse of Deadwood, he was there about 6 months ahead of anyone else in Deadwood, he has the best saloon and whore house in Deadwood, and that's by knowing every move that every person in town makes, any problems in town he justs gets rid of them, in his own way and most of the time he feeds them to Mr Wu's pig's But Al has made a few enemies in town, one is Cy Tolliver the owner of Bella Union, who is trying to expand his turf in Deadwood, and will go to any extremes to get what he wants, For all his Mephistophelean qualities, Swearengen does have a soft spot for certain people, including the whore Trixie, Jewel, his handicapped house servant, and the brain-addled Reverend Jim, whom Al was forced to euthanize.

'Deadwood' Star Gets Truly 'Dark' Conroy, Ludwig also star Ian McShaneIan McShane has played some dark characters in the past, but he'll play a mentor figure in "The Dark Is Rising." According to Variety, the Golden Globe-winning "Deadwood" star will topline 20th Century Fox and Walden Media's adaptation of the Susan Cooper young adult classic. Also joining the David Cunningham-directed fantasy epic are Frances Conroy ("Six Feet Under") and Alexander Ludwig ("MXP: Most Xtreme Primate"). Production on "The Dark Is Rising" will begin next month in Romania. The story focuses on a boy (Ludwig) who discovers when he's 11 that he's the last of the Old Ones, immortals entrusted with saving the world from the forces of darkness. McShane will play Merriman Lyon, an Old One who assists our hero. Although he's waiting to reprise his role as Al Swearengen in a "Deadwood" telefilm, McShane hasn't been sitting around twiddling his thumbs. His 2006 features included "Scoop" and "We Are Marshall," while he'll be seen in "Hot Rod" and "Case 39" in 2007, along with vocal turns in "Shrek the Third" and, reportedly, "The Golden Compass."
