While the rest of the world watched the Twin Towers fall in horror on their TV screens, he grabbed his old gear and headed toward the smoke. He didn't call his publicist. He just showed up to work. Back in September 2001, he wasn't looking for a camera or a red carpet. He was looking for his brothers.

Before his fame, Steve Buscemi was a real New York City firefighter. He took the FDNY exam when he was just 18 years old and spent four years working 12-hour shifts in Little Italy with Engine Company 55.

He eventually left the department to pursue acting, but he never truly stopped being a firefighter at heart.

When the towers fell on 9/11, that old instinct took over. Buscemi didn’t reach out to his agent or wait for instructions. He called his old firehouse, but no one answered because of the sheer chaos in the city.

On September 11, he simply showed up at the pile of rubble known as Ground Zero. He found his old crew and asked if he could help. For the next five days, he became a firefighter again.

He put aside his Hollywood life and worked grueling 12-hour shifts. He spent his time digging through twisted steel and shattered concrete, searching for survivors.

There were no cameras following him around for a documentary. In fact, he fiercely avoided the press. He turned away reporters and declined interviews because he didn't want the focus to be on his celebrity. He wanted to be just another man on the line.

"It was a privilege to be able to do it," Buscemi later said about those days in the dust. "It was enormously helpful for me because while I was working, I didn’t really think about it as much, feel it as much."

For him, being part of the recovery was a way to process the shock that everyone else was feeling from a distance.

The internet often claims that no photos exist of him there, but a few rare shots do document his presence. They show a man covered in soot, wearing a simple fire helmet, with a face etched in total exhaustion and sorrow.

These weren't staged publicity photos; they were raw moments of a man doing a job. He didn't want the world to see him as a hero. He just wanted to help his friends.

However, the work took a heavy toll on him. After the physical labor ended, the emotional weight stayed. Buscemi eventually opened up about the deep depression and PTSD he faced after leaving Ground Zero.

Returning to a "normal" life felt impossible for a long time. "There are times when I talk about 9/11 and I’m right back there," he admitted in a rare, candid interview.

He didn't suffer in silence forever. He turned to therapy and found comfort in talking to professionals and other first responders who understood the trauma.

This experience turned him into a lifelong advocate for mental health. He realized that the scars you can't see are often the ones that take the longest to heal.

Even now in 2026, Buscemi is still showing up for the FDNY. He serves on the Advisory Council for Friends of Firefighters and helps raise money for mental health counseling. This mission is more urgent than ever.

Today, more FDNY members have died from 9/11-related illnesses than the 343 who were lost on the day of the attack. Buscemi makes sure these people are never forgotten.

He could have stayed in a safe place and watched the news like everyone else. Instead, he chose to get his hands dirty. He didn't go there as a movie star; he went there as a New Yorker who knew how to use a shovel.

@RapSheet @WillSelvaTV If the #Ravens were attempting to sign both Maxx and Trey to pair together than why didn’t they have a handshake deal with Hendrickson before they backed out if the deal with the #Raiders?

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
