Posted

Valley Stream native Steve Buscemi will appear on tonight's episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?" The NBC show in its second season follows celebrities as they embark on a journey to trace their family tree.

Buscemi, a 1975 graduate of Valley Stream Central High School, traveled from Brooklyn to Pennsylvania to Virginia to trace his family's routes. Among the actor's dozens of film credits are "Fargo," "Billy Madison," "The Wedding Singer" and "Armageddon." His 1996 film "Tress Lounge," which he wrote, directed and starred in, was largely filmed in Valley Stream.

In 2005, Buscemi received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Central High School, where he wrestled and played soccer. In his senior year, he appeared in the school's production of "Fiddler on the Roof."

The show airs tonight, March 25, at 8 p.m. on NBC. Learn more about the show and Buscemi by clicking here.
