We all know Steve Buscemi as an iconic actor who's been in some of the biggest blockbusters on the silver screen and critically acclaimed TV shows — "Armageddon," "The Big Lebowski," "The Sopranos" and "Boardwalk Empire," just to name a few.
But, did you also know he is a former firefighter?
Buscemi was a firefighter in the Little Italy area of Manhattan from 1980-1984, when he left to become a full-time actor.
However, after the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Buscemi found himself back at Engine Company 55.
On September 12, 2001, the day after the tragedy, Buscemi returned to his roots to help out his fellow New Yorkers.

And two, to provide some counterbalance to the behavior of that piece of garbage, Joe Biden.
Yeah, and that POS Biden tries to tell us that he was in NYC on September 12. What a freakin’ liar!
His best role was as the beat bartender in “The Hudsucker Proxy.”

Good in Fargo.
The Big Lebowski. “Shut the f@$# up, Donny”
But, did you also know he is a former firefighter?

I did not know that. /Johnny Carson voice
Good of him to help out in NYC.
Why do I have to be Mr. Pink...?
> I did not know that. <
The reason you did not know is Buscemi did not brag to the press about his heroics. I myself came across the story by accident.
Contrast that with the behavior of Biden, who brags about things he didn’t even do.
I never saw that movie.
“You’re our of your element.”
Side note, I got hammered and played trivia with Icelandic lesbians in The Big Lebowski Bar in Reykjavik…
Many FReepers won’t like it. I would say it mainly appeals to the more libertarian minded males here.
“Well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.”
You’re unchecked aggression will not stand…man…
Knew this. Thanks for posting it. Steve is a national hero. So much respect for him, and all the first responders then and now. May God bless them and their loved ones!
Don’t like many actors. Buscemi is one of my favorites. Loved Boardwalk Empire especially.
That was a good role for him.
They didn't even mention the movie he got wood-chippered?
I hated that movie.
