This guy is probably one of my favorite actors. He plays a great psychopath, but I think his best role to date would be Seymour in "Ghost World" with "Fargo" at a close second. I even thought he was great in Spy Kids, and all those Adam Sandler cameos.

Agree with you the Twin Forces.

His role in Ghost World really was beautiful. Although a loner, he bought a great deal of humanity to the role.

Fargo: Totally despicable character. I loved it.

What about the mink in Millers Crossing.......

but his all time best role is without a doubt, Donnie from The Big Lebowski.

"I am the Walrus"

I think he was best as Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs. The amount of witty dialogue he had really gave him a chance to show his chops. The charcter showed his ferocity, his desperation, and his "professionalism". I also thought his small but great role in Desperado was excellent. His interaction with Cheech Marin was hysterical!!! "Can I get a cleaner mug? This ones dirty."

He was awesome in Fargo as well...Ghost World he was fine but i think the movie turned me off to begin with. So I didn't really give him a chance. The comic book was so much better. That's a comic you don't adapt for the movies.

If the comic is great, why not adapt it? I loved that movie, especially Buschemi's character.

Do you mean if the comic is great? The ending credits of Ghost World probably has my favorite stuff, where the Buscemi character "fights with his enemy" behind the sofa. Unbelievably hilarious.

Yeah, that's what I meant.
I just changed it.

maybe the greatest character actor since jack elam.

Hello all, i was wondering if anyone remembered an old short film in the 80s featuring an unknown Steve Buscemi that had him trying to pick up a girl using titles from popular songs with her only response at the end a firm "Beat It"!

it appeared on MTV
thanks for any info

"Shut the f#@k up, Donnie". My friends and I still use this line daily.
