Joe’s career was quality over quantity. He did a limited number of films, and was outstanding on each one.

[Daniel-uwiz]

One of the greatest, most underrated actors of all time. Straight up legendary status.

[stuartmcdonagh]

Every clip I see of this man reminds of how good an actor he is. His whole demeanour is a mile away from what you'd expect, having seen him on screen. A legend, no doubt.

It's so crazy Pesci talking about de-aging in Goodfellas, years later they de-age him in The Irishman 😮

“We’re in the process of putting together a movie called ‘Casino’.

[Marley]

Joe Pesci was about 10 times scarier than anybody else in Goodfellas.One of the greatest performances of all time...the complete reversal of raging bull where De Niro was the lunatic and he was the restrained one.

[jimpimmers]

They made it work even though Pesci was in his late 40s playing somebody in their early twenties. They also had Deniro at the beginning playing a character in his 20s. It was such a great film so you were able to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the acting and the story.

[EvoDad]

So cool hearing Joe bring up putting a movie together with Robert Deniro and Martin S. called “Casino” before it was ever made.
What an epic movie that was- one of my all time favorites

[DmanDice]

Its called casino. What will this be about?
Be about one of the best movies ever fkn made thats what.

[sdqthyl]

Casino? Hmmm that movie sounds like it might be pretty good.

[MrYoumitube]

The only guy that scares Joe Pesci is the "Home Alone" kid. Now that's a tough guy.

[frankpavan]

Joe Pesci is a gift to Hollywood pictures. No one could have played the roles he did in the way he did it.
Truly amazing.He was so real he was scary. Scary in a good way . Love him!!

[macman]

Home Alone - Goodfellas?!.
No actor has ever been as good in two polaronic roles. I can remember watching Home Alone with my daughter who was 6 or 7 at the time and then i remember putting her to bed and watching Goodfellas. Brilliant and Amazing talent, chuck in My Cousin Vinny who my wife and i Loved and thank you Joe Pesci. You entertained my entire family from my Grandad who was in his 80's to my daughter who was barely born. Thank you so much. Peace.

I’ve seen Casino and Goodfellas so many times I could almost repeat every scene word for word.

[crazyjoedavola]

We're in the process of putting a picture together called 'Shinebox'

[duffysullivan]

My Cousin Vinny. Now that was a great comedy. Never falls flat. Hilarious from beginning to end, complete with a great ending. Joe Pesci is in top form. The whole cast was fantastic. I think Being There with Peter Sellers and My Cousin Vinny are my 2 favorite comedy's of all time.

[kman-misu]

Former Mobster Michael Franzcese says of Pesci, "He is the most believable actor to play a wiseguy" Pesci grew up with people in that life so he knows.

[samhandwich]

"MY DOG LOVES THE POOL!!!" LMAOOOO thats how you know Joe's true character resonates with Tommy! I love it

[ObiWanGinobiliTopFan]

Pesci is so spot on playing a murderous loose cannon in Goodfellas and Casino that his performances in those films are utterly and perfectly nerve wracking. Those movies are literally scarier than most horror movies.

[OneManParade]

Wow! Probably the first mention of Casino!
