Steve Buscemi on Cassavetes and Aki Kaurismaki

For more clips like this, visit the blog for the NYC cult cable-access show Media Funhouse, located here: www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com
Cult favorite Steve Buscemi talks about his admiration for John Cassavetes in an interview conducted during the press junket for his film "Lonesome Jim." When asked about his other influences, he surprised me by bringing up the master of deadpan, the king of smoking/drinking/rocking, Mr. Aki Kaurismaki.

I told people Cassettes was a genius, if the GREAT Steve Buscemi backs that up, they can now kiss my ass.
