When Frank is first introduced to the owner of the funeral home there is a corpse laying on the table. I swear it looks like Steve Buscemi. Yet, no credit on the film or on his IMDB file. Completely uncredited role? Did he do a favor for the director? Or maybe just an extra that happens to look like SB?
Anyone know?

Steve is way too big to play a 15 second spot as a corpse....just a theory.

I also thought this - well the person I was watching it with pointed it out and I agreed once I noticed. I instantly said that if it is Steve Buscemi, he's not credited so we will never know - unless he's listed as a producer or something. I just looked through the cast list and contrary to what the latest poster said - I don't see him listed as uncredited either. Someone said the cast list has been updated. I could have missed it.
My other thought at the time was that this was an IFC film. Steve Buscemi loves and probably owes much credit to independent films for making him a known actor. I love Steve Buscemi but first knew him from low budget independent films - wonderful movies but still independently produced such as say Trees Lounge. It occured to me that perhaps as a credit to his claim to fame - he would do that just because - just because of his love of independent film - his reverance say for one of the actors in the film - or just because this was an independent film.
I have noticed though that when there are quick shots of someone - like in this case but when I know for a fact as does everyone else that it was a quick cameo appearance and the star's name is not listed in the credits ... I've searched to no avail to find even a place where 'uncredited appearances' are listed and there just isn't any such place. The point is, I am not sure we'll ever truly know if that was or was not Steve Buscemi. If it was not, I can bet that it was just a coincidence yet with so many of us thinking - some without a second thought that it was, in fact, Steve Buscemi - I'd venture to say - it probably was him. For every person who came here to ask that question - think of the other 100 or 1000 people who had the same thought and didn't come here or care to research it any further. Food for thought. :-)
