Any Steve Buscemi fans here?

[maveric]

I just love the guy. He's one of the best character actors in the biz IMHO, and has been in 82 films. Some good ones too, Fargo,Ghost World, The Laramie Project, The Big Lebowski, and even in Pulp Fiction as the Buddy Holly character in that 50's restaurant.
His role of the racist cop shooter on "Homicide Life On The Street" should have won him an emmy. Very compelling.

1. I don't tip

"learn to fuckin type". Buscemi rulez the school. I even loved him in the 5 seconds he played in that Adam Sandler movie as the sociopathic shooter who puts lipstick on.

2. Former NYC firefighter

The day after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Steve Buscemi, who worked as a firefighter from 1980-1984, showed up at his old fire station, Engine Company No. 55 in the Little Italy section of New York.

For the next week he worked 12-hour shifts, digging through the rubble trying to find the bodies of missing firefighters, all the while refusing to do interviews or have his picture taken.

"It was a privilege to be able to do it," the 45-year-old actor said. "It was great to connect with the firehouse I used to work with and with some of the guys I worked alongside. And it was enormously helpful for me because while I was working, I didn't really think about it as much, feel it as much.

"It wasn't until I stopped that I really felt the full impact of what had happened. It would have been much harder for me to get through it if I hadn't been able to do that."

17. That is amazingly cool!

3. One of the first things I saw him in -

was "Mad About You". He played a former film-school classmate of Paul Buckman's, who dropped out and was now working as a token seller in the subway. Paul felt guilty: thought he caused Buscemi to drop out because he (Paul) had gotten the "good" editing booth one important day. Eventually, Paul and Jamie let themselves get talked into staffing the token booth while Buscemi split.

A very interesting part. Comedic, but edgy.

4. right here! I think he is awesome.

Trees Lounge. :hi:

[southpaw]

20. whoa

I saw that! Samuel L. Jackson had a cameo. Daniel Baldwin... Cool movie.

[jonnyblitz]

29. and don't forget a very young Chloe Savigny

whom I always enjoy no matter what role she plays.

[Cat Atomic]

5. Ghost World was great.

[corporatewhore]

10. That was a vefry good role forhim

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

woops, dupe

dupe

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

19. I loved him in that and in every other movie.

I could identify with that character, wanting to live in a different time and hating most modern-made junk and practically everybody and everything else.

The other actor I really like a lot is John Turturro.

[populistmom]

26. My life is Ghost World

If she never got on the bus.

[terrya]

6. I first saw him in "Parting Glances" and liked him then.

Still do. A versatile actor.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

7. Yeah, you. Clearly.

God, I'm just so damned funny.

[davsand]

8. I do like him!

He got in a bar fight on a location shoot down south someplace and got stabbed a couple times, I recall. I always figured he was somebody that would be a riot to have a couple beers with.

"Why do I gotta be Mr. Pink?"

[Tempest]

9. Steve wasn't in the fight

He tried to break up the fight and was stabbed.

[maveric]

11. Did you see him in "Homicide..."?

A very intense role as the racist who supposedly shot 3 cops. He was not charged in the shooting and was subsequently released only to be found murdered at a phone booth.
That was one of my favorite episodes.

[muchacho]

12. Big Fish

He was really good in Burton's new movie.

[Parrcrow]

13. he's even good in bad movies

Like Armageddon

He has directed a few episodes of The Sopranos and will join the cast for Season 4 airing in March.

[LynneSin]

14. Buscemi rules - I loved he made it worth your while to watch "Con Air"....

and Armageddon.

In "Con Air", Buscemi this Hannibal Lector-type psycho killer named Garland 'The Marietta Mangler' Greene and he made that entire movie (which in general sucked outside of his role).

Armageddon, which sucked more than Con Air, was another great role for Buscemi. I loved his line in the movie:

Rockhound: You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?

[proud patriot]

15. I love him in the movies

Always adds a great Character to a movie .

[Loonman]

16. "Shut the FFck up Donnie!!!"

Line written because he talked so much in "Fargo"

[southpaw]

18. Steve rules

He even managed to make Airheads watchable.

21. i am Steve Buscemi fan

I agree that Buscemi is one of the best character actors in the business. His resteraunt scene in Reservoir Dogs is a classic.
and from what i've read and heard of him, he's a decent guy too.

[indigo32]

22. one of my favorites

eom

[Kat45]

23. Yeah, he's great!

He's been in so many movies. I used to see him all the time and enjoy his performances but I didn't know who he was. He was a variation on, "oh, THAT guy"; he was "that weird guy" or "that weird looking guy." I eventually started looking him up in the credits to find out who he was. Then after a while, I started hearing him talked about more frequently as more and more people got hip to him.

I just looked at his bio on IMDB--man, he's been in some terrific movies. Did anybody ever see "The Search for One-eye Jimmy"? That was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. He was in that, as were John and Nick Turturro, Samuel L. Jackson.

[Spirochete]

24. Buscemi is great.

He was even good in that one he did with Brendan Fraser and Adam Sandler. He does a lot of movies with Adam Sandler. Quentin Tarantino and the coen Brothers use him in a lot of their movies. A couple he directed - Trees Lounge and Animal Factory, were good too.

[Zomby Woof]

25. first saw him in Lonesome Dove

Way back in '89... then noticed him in many of the Coen Brothers flicks. No mistaking his oddball persona. :-) I do like Steve!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

27. He did a great job directing that Sopranos episode

'Pine Barrens'. I heard in the upcoming season he will be directing at least another episode and will also have a recurring role in the show.

He is awesome. How 'bout the bartender in 'The Hudsucker Proxy': Martinis are for squares, man.

[Simeon Salus]

28. What a coincidence? I saw him today!

He was buying a Mac at Tekserve in Chelsea.

Regular guy.

[jonnyblitz]

30. no shit!

31. Big fan.
