NEW YORK — Actor Steve Buscemi is OK after he was punched in the face by a man on a New York City street, his publicist said Sunday.
The 66-year-old star of “Fargo” and “Boardwalk Empire” was assaulted late Wednesday morning in Manhattan and taken to a nearby hospital with bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye. “Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city,” according to a statement Sunday from his publicist. “He is ok and appreciates everyone’s well wishes."The New York Police Department put out a nameless statement on the assault Wednesday. Buscemi’s representative confirmed Sunday that the unidentified assault victim in the police statement was the actor.
Buscemi is a prolific actor with nearly 180 film and TV credits, according to IMDB. He got his start in the 1985 film"The Way it Is" but is most recognized for his roles in Fargo, Reservoir Dogs and for a now meme-worthy performance in the second Spy Kids movie. He has won numerous awards for his acting work, including a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his performance in 2003's Ghost World.
