Steve Buscemi has appeared in five Coen Brothers movies with his first being the 1990's Miller's Crossing. In the gangster opus he plays Mink, the gay lover of Bernie Bernbaum (John Turturro). His next role was as Chet, the Hotel receptionist, in Barton Fink. Nothing more than a cameo for Buscemi. Continuing with his Coen cameos he went on to play a barman in The Hudsucker Proxy, this is quite a modest role considering the film was made after Reservoir Dogs, the film that kick-started the career of one Quentin Tarantino and whipped the media into a frenzy of overblown, over the top scare-mongering. No publicity is bad publicity it seems; a motto Mr. Tarantino lives by. Then, of course, he put in his best (and biggest) part in a Coen film as Carl Showalter in Fargo. Some of the most memorable lines in any Coen film were spoken in this film and by Busemi's bumbling criminal. In the 1998 release, The Big Lebowski, Buscemi went back to a smaller part as ("Shut the f**k up") Donny. It is probably a safe bet that Buscemi will be in the next Coen movie since he's been in the last five. More than likely another cameo...
Date of birth :13 December 1957,
