Looks like a awesome role for Steve Buscemi as it seems he fits it well, and it will be nice to see him as a lead for once and not a side kick.. He's always one of those actors that has to have the right roll or he comes off a bit wrong.
As for the series it looks good but I'm betting if past experience with HBO is any clue that they won't run it long.
They canceled Deadwood due to the costs of production and that series was awesome. Same thing happened with Carnivale as they cut it due production due to costs.
This show due to it's era and needed backdrop will likely also be very expensive to produce. Lets hope they turn it into something though because it looks good.
