STEVE BUSCEMI
(Nick)
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Steve Buscemi began to show an interest in drama
while in his last year of high school. Soon after, he moved to Manhattan to study
acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute. He and fellow actor/writer, Mark Boone
Junior, began collaborating by writing and performing their own theater pieces in
New York performance spaces and downtown theaters. This soon led to Buscemi being
cast in his first lead role in PARTING GLANCES, portraying a musician with AIDS.
Other acclaimed appearances include Quentin Tarantino's critically acclaimed
RESERVOIR DOGS, in which his portrayal of Mr. Pink won him an Independent Spirit
Award for Best Supporting Actor; IN THE SOUP for Alex Rockwell; MYSTERY TRAIN for
Jim Jarmusch; NEW YORK STORIES for Martin Scorsese; MILLER'S CROSSING, BARTON
FINK, and the forthcoming FARGO for the Coen bothers; TWENTY BUCKS directed by
Keva Rosenfeld; AIRHEADS, directed by Michael Lehmann, and cameo appearances in
such films as RISING SUN, THE HUDSUCKER PROXY and PULP FICTION. He is currently
working on TREES LOUNGE, his first feature as a director, in which he will also
star.
