Talk about art imitating life.

He may have played a wiseguy on TV, but that didn’t stop someone from taking a swing at actor Steve Buscemi.

According to the New York Post, Buscemi was reportedly punched in the face by an unknown assailant while walking through the Kip’s Bay neighborhood of Manhattan on Wednesday around 11:48 a.m.

The “Sopranos” and “Boardwalk Empire” actor was transported to Bellevue Hospital with swelling to his face and left eye, the report said

Buscemi’s attacker took off and has yet to be caught, the report said.
