    Steve was a good actor, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors… and acting, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and… up to… Pismo. He was punched, like so many young men of his generation, he was assaulted before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Steve. Steve, who loved acting. And so, Steven Vincent Buscemi, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.

      I met Steve the night he got stabbed in the neck in Wilmington, NC.

      He was freakin awesome & he did not deserve the stabbing or this round of punching.

      What the hell is going on!?!?!

        I don’t understand it… like what’s the point? Smacking someone and running away doesn’t make you big and tough, they’re just being a little bitch.

        They want to feel like a man they should go to a biker bar and try that with the biggest dude in the room.

          Having just got back from a week in New York, I can tell you that reason does not proliferate on the streets there. Crazy is a feature.
