Why Wasn’t Joe Pesci more famous?

[Sonny Corinthos]

When I was younger, I would cap off heated forum arguments by saying "You motherfukker you." Those were the days.

Joe killed that role after nearly 3 hours don’t think a person watching that wasn’t thrilled to see him catch that bat

God damn that’s a classic

 

[I love Latina women]

Too 1 dimensional

He essentially plays the same role over and over again

 

[Threnody]

He was typecasted HARD people would only offer him roles like 'joe pesci from this movie playing the same type of guy joe pesci always plays but he's a BLANK now'

He was fully capable of going elsewhere with it but hardly nobody was willing to give that a shot and after a while the viewing audience had been trained to only see him one way

It's even more fitting that Frank Vincent (who Pesci beat up in Raging Bull and killed in Goodfellas) got to do the honors during that home run hit on Joe's head.

 

[R=G]

I love his Tales From the Crypt episode..he was on fire

 

[InGodWeTrust]

I remember my Dad saying how Larenz always overacts and can’t stand him lol

Frank Vincent was Pesci’s stand up partner when they were first staring in the industry.

One dimensional

I love Pesci but dude was like the white version of Laurenz Tate minus the suave and smooth sense of his demeanor.

He's a much more talented version of Stifler. Same character in every film

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

I don’t think he really cares, he’s a super private person and never wanted the fame or attention. He made classics, won an Oscar, got millions and bounced.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Mans has had some LEGENDARY roles though

 

[JuvenileHell]

Bozos exposing themselves calling Larenze Tate one dimensional

 

[Trot LaRoc]

He is one of the GOAT supporting actors....he is super famous and.well.known....has many quotables

Everyone isnt built or wants to be #1
