Steve Buscemi's animated roles
by adampkalb | created - 11 May 2019 | updated - 12 Sep 2021 | PublicFor an independent film director/B-list character actor in film, Steve Buscemi has had a surprising lot of animated roles in both film and TV since the early 2000s. I think he should do voice acting a little more often. So should his brother Michael Buscemi, who only has one animated role in Yes, Virginia.
