Before the Cameras — Two Firefighters Who Never Forgot
Hollywood has produced many actors who claim a connection to the fire service. Steve Buscemi and Jack McGee actually had one.
Not honorary. Not researched for a role. Real.

Jack McGee worked out of Ladder Company 3 in Manhattan through the 1970s and into the early 1980s — years of actual shifts, actual fires, actual membership in the culture that the FDNY carries from one generation of firefighters to the next. He left for acting and built a career that eventually brought him back to the firehouse — this time on screen, playing Chief Jerry Reilly in Rescue Me, the FX series that remains one of the most honest portrayals of post-9/11 FDNY life ever made. The authenticity people felt watching him in that role did not come from preparation alone. It came from memory.
Steve Buscemi worked with Engine Company 55 in Little Italy from 1980 to 1984 — four years on the job before the acting career took hold and the firehouse receded into the background of a life that went in a different direction. It receded. It did not disappear.
On September 12, 2001, Buscemi came back.
No announcement. No cameras. He showed up at his old firehouse, put on his gear, and worked twelve-hour shifts at Ground Zero for days — digging through rubble, helping with recovery, standing beside men who were doing the hardest work imaginable in the worst conditions imaginable. He never spoke about it publicly. The world found out only because others mentioned it. The silence was not modesty exactly — it was the appropriate response of a person who understood that what he had done was simply what needed to be done, and that saying so would have made it about something other than what it was.

Between them, across more than three decades of film and television, Buscemi and McGee have appeared in over 350 productions. The range is remarkable — leading roles and character parts, prestige dramas and cult films, the kind of careers that accumulate through talent and longevity and the particular credibility that comes from having lived something real before the cameras ever started rolling.
But the thing that connects them most meaningfully is not the filmography.
It is the years before the filmography. The shifts. The gear. The firehouses in Manhattan where two men who would eventually become recognizable faces on screens around the world were simply doing a job that most people are not built to do — and building, in the doing of it, an understanding of service and sacrifice and brotherhood that no amount of research or preparation can replicate.
September 11 called that understanding back to the surface.
Jack McGee answered through advocacy and memorial work and a performance in Rescue Me that honored the real chiefs it was drawn from. Steve Buscemi answered by showing up at his old firehouse and going to work.
Two actors. Two firefighters. The same city. The same sense of what the uniform means and what it asks and what it gives you — permanently, irrevocably — once you've worn it.
Some things stay with you.
For both of them, the FDNY stayed.
