But then I started watching the show and couldn't see it with any other actor in the lead.
Yes he was in Armageddon too.
Generally he plays the crazy guy in bit parts like in Billy Madison where he was wearing lipstick and sharpshooting the people mean to him in high school.
What I admire about Buscemi is that he gets into a role and pulls it off so well. He's not a pretty boy by Hollywood standards, but I enjoy his acting ability....he portrays interesting characters.
I have the same issue with Sheryl Crow. When her voice comes on the radio or I see her on tv, I swear I have to restrain myself from breaking said object. No idea why. Steve Buscemi doesn't bother me a bit though.
I met him a few times in Wilmington. He and Vince Vaughn got into a fight downtown and Steve got cut up...or, was it the other guy? Anyway, they had to go back to Wilmington for the trial.
I will say though, he gets credit for one of the greatest scenes, and best monologues of all time. Especially if you watch the whole movie and understand the context of the characters having this debate on tipping
