Talk:Steve Buscemi

message: I know that Buscemi was stabbed several times in April 2001 when he was involved in a bar fight. Vince Vaughn was present and was arrested. I was wondering if someone could put some information regarding this incident in the article? (The SmokingGun.com has Vaughn's mugshots from the night in question).

replies: text: Yeah, I believe this was during the filming of the John Travolta vehicle Domestic Distrubance. He, Vaughn and the screenwriter, Scott Rosenberg, got into a bar fight with a local, Timothy Fogerty, at the Firebelly Lounge in Wilmington, North Carolina. Buscemi tried to break up the fight but ended up getting stabbed for his trouble. I think I remember hearing about it because Buscemi was supposedly stabbed in the head, throat, and arm. He now has a scar on his cheek that is covered up by makeup. --YoungFreud 14:19, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

message: is his name pronounced BYU-SEMI or BYU-SKEMMY i say SEMI
I've heard BYU-SHEMI as well
Buscemi is Italian, so it's BU-SHEMI
How about the film "Ned and his Dead Mother." Not sure what the date is on that one.
Well.. A friend and I have this argument I say it's Buu-sem-ee She sayd Buu-shemi.
I've read it's the way I say it.. but she wont accept that shes wrong.
Buscemi pronounced his name as boo-SEM-mee on The Simpsons. --(trogga) 23:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I saw an interview where he said it's actually bu-semi but everybody says bu-shemi. So he seems to kind of accept that people call him bu-shemi, although it's not correct. I don't think I've ever heard anybody say anything other than bu-shemi, other than himself. 193.91.181.142 19:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed this text, which was uncited:
:Buscemi is also the inspiration for the "Steve Buscemi effect", a phenomenon where an actor who does not fit the traditional image of a hearthrob (see George Clooney) is nevertheless considered to be one because of percieved personality or acting talent.
because I can't find any references to it on the web. If you have a print reference, please feel free to add it with a citation. -- Mikeblas 16:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I think the first sentence says it best when it says "character actor". Calling someone a particularly beloved character actor needs sources, and naming an effect after him is bound to be NPOV or original research. -- Ianiceboy 05:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I recently watched Dead Man for the first tIme. Doesn't Steve play the barman who sells Blake the "bottle"? He is hardly recognisable under the beard and doesn't say anything. No info on this from IMDB. TINYMARK 17:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else feel that this phrase -- even though it's a semi-quote from the referenced article -- is somewhat un-NPOV? The only replacement I could think of is "non-religious" but that's quite possibly inaccurate. Yes/No/Suggestions? -- Shannonr (talk) 06:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Buscemi himself mentions his name in the youtube interview with Henry Rollins, at , at 5:32 of 7:14. He pronounces it Boo-shemi rather than Boo-semi. (Rollins says Boo-semi at the beginning.) I guess we should go with Buscemi's version. :-) Jayen466 01:00, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It bears mentioning that Steve himself is far too used to this pronunciation from other people. My mistake. He actually admits mispronouncing it in the interview on Regis. Challenger l (talk) 12:08, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Steve Buscemi is not on Twitter, is just a guy who has the domain and is playing to be Steve Buscemi. By the way, I feel sorry for the article, Buscemi deserves something better like the spanish wikipedia...--190.64.103.34 (talk) 23:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it true that the gollum in "Lord of the Rings" was modeled after Steve Buscemi? Has anyone else heard this rumor? Shouldn't Buscemi get some kind of royalties?Sengui (talk) 03:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Model for the gollum in "Lord of the Rings" 

message: Per a 2007 NPR interview , Mr. Buscemi pronounces his name with an "s" sound, not an "sh". He's ok with other people using the popular pronunciation though.
Note that in the Rollins interview which Jayen provided, he is quoting what other people were saying about him when he pronounces it "Booshemi".

message: This website does seem to have information about Steve Buscemi but it is also loaded with banner ads and malicious seeming popups. I don't know if I should wait for a consensus or something but for now I think I will just remove the link and if someone wiser thinks it's important then they can put it back. I just wanted to leave a record of why I took it out. 70.143.91.23 (talk) 07:59, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I am a big fan and I don't know if Mr. Buscemi reads posts at all, but I would like to tell him thank you for being someone we can relate to.  Extremely talented in lots of areas, he is a "celebrity" even though he says it means nothing.  It means, "A person who entertains and captivates you while not letting you take your eyes away from him."  Allot of actors claim to be entertainers, but entertainers are not necessarily "celebrities."  Yes, Mr. Buscemi, you are a "Celebrity," just not in general context.  A true celebrity.  Thank you for your contribution to films and for being more normal than your average actor.  Eccentricity doesn't seem to be your forte.  You are fabulous.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.176.73.233 (talk) 17:26, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

message: On the Tonight Show August 7, 2015 Buscemi said he never auditioned for George Costanza on Seinfeld. It seems useless to have a section dedicated to something that is not factually correct.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.76.225.147 (talk) 03:33, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

message: There should be a mention of Buscemi's role as an indie film maker in Living in Oblivion, 1995. That makes totally sense with his "character" as an indie actor... and filmmaker.

message: Under “Early life and education,” I noticed this puzzling paragraph:
“In his late teenage years, Steve often wrote short stories about pirates and often longed for a life on the seas. Through this obsession, Steve started the Pirate Friday club. This club met every 6 weeks to bring forward modern day pirating. This would be anti-violence and had a set amount of kind-hearted rules to adhere to. This club would also promote creative writing and craft-based workshops in schools around the globe [12].”
The link led to this page: 
https://mateysahoy.wixsite.com/pirate-friday-club
The website just uses a random promotional photo of Steve Buscemi and lists him as the founder/CEO and all of the other employees are just stock photos with generic names. Not to mention, the premise of the site itself is just weird (it promotes “pirate educational workshops” and charges you a small fee of $80 if you want to join?).
Is there any way to verify this? Other than the website itself (which leads right back to Buscemi’s Wikipedia). FlushingGirl1996 (talk) 16:35, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
