Steve Buscemi is an American actor, director and producer who was born on December 12, 1957, in Brooklyn, New York City, and moved with his family to Valley Stream in Nassau County as a boy. After graduating from Valley Stream Central High School in 1975, he took the New York City firefighter's exam in 1977 and served with Engine Company 55 for four years while performing comedy and theater in downtown venues. He made his film debut in 1985 and broke through as Mr. Pink in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs in 1992, which won him an Independent Spirit Award.

He became one of the busiest character actors of his era, with five Coen brothers films including Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Fargo and The Big Lebowski, blockbusters such as Con Air and Armageddon, and a long run of comedies with Adam Sandler. On television he earned an Emmy nomination for The Sopranos, won a Golden Globe as Nucky Thompson in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, and won a Primetime Emmy in 2016 for his web talk show Park Bench with Steve Buscemi. He has also directed the films Trees Lounge, Animal Factory and Interview.

How Steve Buscemi makes his money

Film acting is the foundation. Decades of supporting work across independent and studio films, from Reservoir Dogs, Fargo and Ghost World to Con Air, Armageddon, Big Fish and The Death of Stalin, kept him in constant demand.

Television leading roles brought a major step up. Playing Nucky Thompson at the center of Boardwalk Empire from 2010 to 2014 gave him a starring HBO role, following his Emmy-nominated turn as Tony Blundetto on The Sopranos and later series such as Horace and Pete and Miracle Workers.

Voice acting adds family-film income. He voiced Randall Boggs in Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University and appeared across the Hotel Transylvania series, plus Monster House and Charlotte's Web.

Directing is a parallel career. He directed episodes of The Sopranos, including the acclaimed Pine Barrens, along with Oz, Nurse Jackie, 30 Rock and Portlandia, and he hosted, directed and produced Park Bench, which won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Short Form Variety Series.
