Steve Buscemi - Cinema's greatest hitman?


What do you think people? Personally I'd have to say LEON cos he's such an absolute legend...but Buscemi (can't recall the character name) is definately in the top 5 for bad-a$$ness.
I mean; BUCKWHEATS!? - - F@ck THAT!

Vincent in Collateral. I think Cruise is a vertically-challenged egomaniacal crackpot in real life, but that cat can act. He did a great job as the sociopathic hitman in that movie.

In relation to the thread I kinda meant how creepy he is, very unintimidating and you wouldn't look twice at him in a crowd. But then he's actually deadly.

Cruise...can't stand him both in & out of flicks...but you're right, he was the macdaddy in that film make no mistake.

his name was mr Shhhosh and the casting was a stroke of genius! He's definately up tere with Leon and Dan Ackroyd in grosse Pointe Blank.

Ha ha ha Ackroyd. Never would've thought of him but he makes the grade by being a pill popping nut-job.

Kudos.

Martin "It's Not Me" Blank in "Grosse Pointe Blank." Greatest hitman ever. Steve's number two.

I used to think it was Leon, and Mr. Shosh, but bottom line is they both end up dead, while The Mechanic, my personal favorite, lived to hit another day.
