I’m sure you heard one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, Steve Buscemi, was punched in the face while walking in midtown New York and I want to do a rare profile on Steve. He was born and has lived in New York for the last 30 years. Steve was stabbed multiple times and hospitalized in 2001 in North Carolina while shooting the movie Domestic Disturbance. Steve jumped in to stop a bar fight between Vince Vaughn and Scott Rosenberg, when two local men jumped in! Steve is just a great guy! He was a New York firefighter from 1980-1984 at Engine 55, near the World Trade Center and went back into service as a volunteer for a couple weeks after 9/11. Steve married Jo Andres in 1987 an artist and choreographer. Jo Andres died in 2019 of a very rare bowel cancer. My favorite Steve performances, Fargo, Reservoir Dogs, The Big Lebowski and many many others, and my favorite may have been him in the TV Series, Boardwalk Empire.
