Why Wasn’t Joe Pesci more famous?

[beenz]

• Home Alone- Angry burglar
• Lethal Weapon- Angry snitch
• Raging Bull- Angry friend
• Moonwalker- Angry guy that steals kids and hates Michael Jackson
• The Super- Angry whiny landlord
• My Cousin Vinny- Angry lawyer

I love him as a actor but breh, the only time he escape the angry small dude was in JFK where he was actually amazing in

dude wasn't angry at all in the irishman. I also don't think he was angry in the lethal weapon series. he was more of comic relief.

One dimensional

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

One, he was probably the best part of the Irishman movie where he wasn’t acting explosive.

The other thing is breh was actually a comedian who wanted to be a comedic actor and do more of that which is why he never joined the Pacino/Deniro/Walken level.

Not every actor can be on the level of the greats ( Pacino, DeNiro, Denzel, Leo , etc.) but to say Joe Pesci isn’t famous or a bigger star is a huge understatement. He’s had big roles in some iconic movies. He’s no leading man for sure and in his wheelhouse theirs only 2 actors with more name recognition than him Pacino and DeNiro. Someone said it earlier he’s prob the goat supporting actor

 

[Able Archer 83]

He's an amazing character actor.

 

[KING WILL]

Can't believe 2 of my favorite and most underrated actors are being called 1 dimensional.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

his academy award speech says it all

I just wanna say that Larenz Tate is one of the most versatile actors in hollywood...what a terrible take lmao. He can literally do any role you need a black male to act and fit into the movie or show well. Maybe a top 5 most underrated actors alive.

Pesci has classic movies and performances. His legacy is cemented. A one of a kind.

He’s a perfect fit, annoying face and voice just like a real wiseguy

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Man got classics to his name and retired. Doesn't give 2 shyts about fame or acting anymore.

Louis ck tried to get him for a role in a TV show and got politely told to fukk off

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

He was type cast

They only see him in certain roles but he was successful

There's like a million actors who would die to have his career

Y'all think everybody who act is gonna become Leo or Tom Cruise lol
