I first noticed him as Donny in The Big Lebowski - John Goodman kept telling him "shut the f*^k up Donny", and he kept saying "I am the walrus", and Goodman just kept getting madder and madder! I think I'm going to have to watch The Big Lebowski again now! It's a shame he had to die in the movie, but he even got the last laugh on Goodman in the "ashes" scene! Don't miss him in Fargo, too - very much a darker role but as in any Coen Brothers movie there is still a dark comedic tone to his role.

Me too. Resevoir Dogs was the film he caught my attention for the first time. Been a fan ever since. Especially like him in roles like Trees Lounge and Ghost World, but always get a kick out of the wacky cameos too.

For me it was 'Reservoir Dogs', having missed 'Barton Fink' in the theatres (saw it later on TV). I have always felt his strange appearance was helped (in 'Dogs' his costume definitely appears to have been shortened to emphasize his lankiness). His characterization as 'Funny-looking' in 'Fargo' seems to be a Coen Brothers in-joke, one that has stuck with the actor. If anyone ever does a John Waters bio-pic, Buscemi is perfect for the job.
