* KavorkaMan: In addition to being "kinda funny looking", his characters are generally snide, condescending, short-tempered weasels who aren't anywhere near as smart or tough as they think they are and are just unpleasant to be around yet it's never stopped them from success with beautiful women.
* LeslieNielsenSyndrome: {{Downplayed}} in that he stills does plenty of recognizable drama roles. However, it wasn't until ''Film/{{Airheads}}'' and his resulting collaborations with Creator/AdamSandler and Creator/HappyMadisonProductions that he became just as well known as a comedy actor. During his speech at Sandler's Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for Comedy ceremony, Buscemi jokingly berated Sandler for ruining his rep as a serious actor.

Buscemi later stepped out of his "creepy weirdo" oeuvre to play the lead character Enoch "Nucky" Thompson in HBO's [[TheRoaringTwenties Prohibition Era]] drama ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'', and in ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin'', he played [[ALighterShadeOfBlack the closest thing the movie had to a hero]], Nikita Khrushchev.

Prior to his acting career, Buscemi was a firefighter with the FDNY. On 9/11, he dropped everything he was doing and went to help out his old firehouse once news of the attack broke.
