Who is Steve Buscemi?

The exact character details as far as his role in Wednesday is concerned will take some time to reveal itself.

Part of the reason is the fact that season 2 is still under production and might undergo further changes before it's released, which is set to happen sometime later this year or early 2025.

Nevertheless, fans of the actor will know all too well about his remarkable work as Mr. Pink in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. Buscemi’s entire body of work is replete with excellent portrayals, ranging from the likes of Fargo, and The Big Lebowski and Pulp Fiction.

He has also appeared in movies like Grown Ups and Transformers: The Last Knight and has a remarkably versatile portfolio that keeps him in good stead for a starring role in Wednesday as well.

He has also previously starred in iconic TV series, like his role as Enoch “Nucky” Thompson in the longrunning Boardwalk Empire. The role earned him two Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Golden Globe, a collection he will hope to increase with his latest role.

Buscemi, born in December 1957, has been a part of the industry from 1985 and continues to be a versatile presence in Hollywood.

Buscmei is truly a talented actor, equally adept at portraying dramatic and humorous roles and has eight Emmy nominations as well.

Now set to appear in Wednesday, Steve Buscemi is an immense addition to an already stellar cast and is bound to further increase the hype surrounding it.

Jenny Ortega said the following about the upcoming iteration, which has not released a confirmed premiere date:

“[Wednesday] sticks to her guns, and she’s not out to please anybody,” Ortega told Tudum in February 2023. “Which, as someone who used to be an immense people pleaser, I really respect.”

Hence, with the addition of Steve Buscemi, it will be interesting to see how Season 2 builds on the success of what its predecessor achieved.

The 66-year-old's versatility and comic timing will certainly help push the series in the right direction.
