Jeremy Sisto says New Yorkers don’t always have the patience for his show “FBI,” which films on the city’s streets“You have to wait 10 seconds, but 10 seconds is a long time for a New Yorker,” Sisto, 48, told The Post. “And it’s always the young [production assistants] who have to break the news” to wandering pedestrians.His nephew worked on the set of the show — part of a three-series CBS franchise which is airing its crossover episodes on April 4 — and once tried to stop a woman who didn’t heed the warning to halt while they were filming.“So he just sort of grazed her arm and was like, ‘Excuse me, ma’am.’ And she’s like, ‘You touched me!'” the actor recalled.

The California native, who lives “upstate a little bit” with his wife and two children, plays Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, second-in-command of the New York field office on the crime drama, now in its fifth season.He is the only star from all three FBI series — “FBI,” “FBI: International” and “FBI: Most Wanted” — to be featured in all of its crossover episodes on Tuesday.The actor, who has Italian roots, traveled to Rome to film the “International” episode, and took his family along.His son, who’s 11, prefers coming to set more than his 13-year-old daughter.“My son gives me direction … He’s actually got a pretty good eye.

He enjoys watching the show a lot,” Sisto explained. “And my daughter does not, but my daughter’s friends do … She’s like, ‘Everyone in my class really liked your show.’ But she’s surprised and annoyed by it.”Fans from past generations know him as Elton, the rich high schooler from “Clueless,” who had a crush on Alicia Silverstone’s character. “I was kind of embarrassed about ‘Clueless’ and I just didn’t want to talk about.
