Steve Buscemi

He first caught my eye in some of the Tarrantino gems I've watched as well as various other action adventure type attractions which frequent my palate and all-in-all he really has added value to my theatrical experience from a standpoint of plot and comic relief.
It seems that he has played a whole lot more than just those things I've watched. Reading his filmography was an eye opener to someone who "thought" they were familiar with his career.
He was originally from Brooklyn and that seems to come through in many of his portrayals.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I never knew he was a director until recently. For that matter, there is a whole lot he's about of which I was totally unaware.
He started his career as a New York City Firefighter and his affinity for that work has caused him to keep in touch with those compadres over the year.
I look forward to seeing more of his acting as a matter of personal interest and IMHO he is truly a great multi faceted addition to scripting and acting.
Today is his birthday.
