How can you not typecast that face? He just plain won't work as the business executive, or the love interest (although Ghost World gave him a good shot). Directors love killing him though. Fargo = best death scenes ever so Buscemi it is.

I thought that for years too that he made it out. But the cops get him. My roommate a few years back told me to turn it up and listen closely at the very end when Keitel and Roth are having their last moment. Something you really have to look for to ascertain the fate of Mr. Pink.

It's not really acting as such, it's just portraying the same thing over and over again in every movie. Only the lines are different.

Your right, which is why I credit Olman with being technically a better actor. I just find Buscemi far more entertaining. I suppose I'm easily amused.

That and the fact that Buscemi stars in two of my top-10 favorite movies: Fargo and Reservior Dogs
