Steve Buscemi has learned not to get drunk while on location after a 1998 bar brawl in North Carolina almost cost him his life.
The actor was out drinking with Domestic Disturbance co-star Vince Vaughn when locals turned on the drunk stars and a nasty fight broke out.
Buscemi was left with knife wounds to the head and neck, but he isn't holding any grudges - he's blaming the whole thing on the alcohol.
He tells Playboy magazine, "Too much alcohol got consumed that night - by everybody, me included. They were local people; we were outsiders.
"I don't remember what was said or how it started. I only know that if I hadn't been drinking, I would not have gotten into any trouble.
"I had a plastic surgeon fix me up and went on from there."
Buscemi has enjoyed huge success this year in TV show Broadwalk Empire but he will be returning to the big screen next year with On The Road, which also stars Kristen Stewart.
He is currently lending his voice to Hotel Transylvania and has already completed work on Rampart, which also stars Woody Harrelson and Sigourney Weaver.
