Steve Buscemi joins the Far Cry TV series cast and now we're all wondering: will he be a weird, helpful NPC, or a weirdly charismatic villain?

Have you ever thought to yourself, I bet Steve Buscemi would make a good Far Cry villain? I think he would. He's charismatic, superficially good-natured, kind of odd looking, extremely high-strung, and prone to sudden, sometimes random outbursts of extreme violence. And I'm not the only one who thinks so—the people making the live-action Far Cry series for FX do, too.

Word of Buscemi's big role was delivered by the official Far Cry account on X: "Welcome Steve Buscemi to the world of FX's Far Cry. Hope you’re ready to get thrown into the deep end, lose your mind, and make a few catastrophically bad decisions along the way."
