<p dir="auto">Somebody posted this on Facebook earlier this morning:<br />
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/66966_102020086" rel="nofollow ugc">https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/66966_102020086</a> 51368035_1852715824_n.jpg<br />
Do you recognize this man? Do you know his name?<br />
Lots of people know he's an actor, and that his name is Steve Buscemi.<br />
What very few people realize is that he was once one of New York's Bravest.<br />
In 1976 Steve Buscemi took the FDNY civil service test when he was just 18 years old. In 1980 Steve Buscemi became a New York City Firefighter.<br />
For four years, Buscemi served on one of FDNY's busiest, Engine Co. 55 in Manhattan's Little Italy. He later left the fire service to become a successful actor, writer and director.<br />
After 9/11/2001 Brother Buscemi returned to FDNY Engine 55.<br />
On September 12, 2001 and for several days following Brother Steve worked 12-hour shifts alongside other firefighters digging and sifting through the rubble from the World Trade Center looking for survivors.<br />
Very few photographs and no interviews exist because he declined them. He wasn't there for the publicity.<br />
In 2003 he also gave a speech at a union rally supporting higher wages for firefighters and to stop fire houses from closing. He got arrested along with other firefighters.<br />
Also not very well known is that in 2012 Brother Buscemi showed up in Breezy Point, NY and quietly assisted in the clean-up efforts of the damage and mass destruction left by Super Storm Sandy.<br />
Once a brother, always a brother!<br />
Just so we're clear this guy is a Badass !!!<br />
Tip of the helmet Brother Steve!<br />
Naturally, I was a little apprehensive about believing this. Untrue crap gets posted on FB all the time for the sole purpose of tugging at our emotions and getting "likes." Then I checked snopes -<br />
<a href="http://www.snopes.com/rumors/buscemi.asp" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.snopes.com/rumors/buscemi.asp</a><br />
So, yup, it's actually true.<br />

<p dir="auto">Could you imagine if they held auditions for the role of<br />
STEVE BUSCEMI<br />
for the 2006 world trade centre movie ( seeing as he actually was there in real life ) and the man himself auditioned for the role…..but did not get and instead it went to like a Young Channing Tatum or something? That would be one for the ages.</p>

<p dir="auto">So ****ing what?<br />
So no other firefighter matters anywhere else?<br />
Why the **** should this make him special?<br />
What about all the other heros who were there on 9/11 and who lost their lives and the other ones afterwards?<br />
As well as all other ones who risk their lives every single day around the world?<br />
Do they not matter at all?<br />
