a respectful STEVE BUSCEMI thread

profile of the low-key Brooklynite (usta see him frequently in the Slope 20 years ago)

despite the puzzling mediocrity of Boardwalk Empire, def one of the best (or at least widest-ranging) CVs of any living actor

I've always been a fan, though I did abandon Boardwalk Empire after a few episodes. (May revisit.) My favourites are more or less the films he's most famous for (not The Big Lebowski, though), also like Trees Lounge, and loved him on The Sopranos.

anecdotally one of the most beloved actors ime.

when I read that his wife had passed away I had a definite emotional reaction which I just generally would not feel for a celebrity

same, and deepened by the profile of his solitude above

aw man, I hadn't read this profile yet and had no idea :(

wow i hope that production of Three Sisters ends up happening at some point in the not-too-distant future. Buscemi + Gerwig + Oscar Isaac, I'm there.

"Steve Buscemi punched in the face while walking in NYC"--one of the stranger headlines I've seen a while. (He's okay.) I will use this as a pretense to start a Buscemi poll later today.

When asked to identify his assailant, I hope he remembered to say "He was kinda funny-lookin'."
