I remember seeing Steve on some Nickelodeon Shows back in the 90's with my kids.
The guy has really paid his dues.

It's been a long time since I've seen Airheads so I can't remember him in that well. I'd say the very first excellent role I ever saw Steve in was Con Air as Garland Greene. What a role! He played that part to perfection, and it was so funny as the plane was going down he was singing He's got the whole world in his hands lol. I loved that he was able to get away in the end.
ALso loved him in Armageddon, 28 days, John Rabe (Hitlers only got one ball) and I'm just now getting into Boardwalk Empire which I think so far is an excellent show and I'm rooting for Knucky all the way.
The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.

Some crappy Adam Sandler movie where he was playing a moronic character. In fact, that's where I remember him from as an actor.

Yes, Lonesome Dove! Then Fargo and Lebowski. Love Steve in everything he does.

Wow, I can't believe no one has mentioned Lonesome Dove!
This was where I first noticed Steve Buscemi. Later, I remember seeing him in some Adam Sandler film and remembering him from Lonesome Dove, but it took me a while. I think Ghost World is the only movie I've seen him in the lead role.

Tarantino films or maybe earlier, don't remember. I also liked him in Con Air.

The first time I noticed the delectable, (I'm sure) delicious Steve Buscemi was in FARGO. The scene of him naked in bed? With me for the rest of my existence. Thank you, Steve, you beautiful skinny white naked man of my dreams.

Saw him in a few things before I really "noticed" him I first noticed him in Reservoir Dogs.

As Seymour in Ghost World. Before then I only knew him as the guy who had cameo roles in Adam Sandler movies. I had no idea he was in movies like Reservoir Dogs, etc. I really want to watch all of his movies now. He is so cute and talented.

I first noticed Steve Buscemi when I saw "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie" in the theater.
I'm a totally bitchin' bio writer from Mars!

I noticed him in Monsters Inc, then forgot about him. I remembered him in Sandlers movies doing cameos, but had no clue who he really, really was until I saw The Big Lebowski.

Yup, same here. Con Air was my first notice of Steve.

God's busy, Can I help you?

Definitely Con Air.
He played a excellent serial killer. So creepy lol.

Playing Rex in Airheads, I think. I love that movie and watched it over and over.
I've been a fan of Steve's since that, but really got how cool he is from his role in Con Air.

I think the first one I noticed him in was Fargo, but Ed was amazing.

"Ed and his dead mother"

Armageddon(I was still little and dragged due to my fear of disasters!)

FARGO.

He was in a lot of movies I watched when I was a child. I loved all those Adam Sandler films he always had a part in, Big Daddy, Mr. Deeds. And I loved Sky Kids 2.

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.

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.
