What movie did Joe Pesci describe kids as "YUTS"?
“My Cousin Vinny”Interestingly, that exchange apparently wasn’t in the original script. The story is that the director, Jonathan Lynn, who is English, often had trouble understanding Joe Pesci’s Brooklyn accent. During one break in filming, Pesci used the term “yoots”, he and Lynn had a little back-and-forth about it, and then ended up realizing that the dialog they were having would be perfect in the film.

Why is Joe Pesci famous?
In the 1960s and 70s, Joe Pesci and Frank Vincent were locally popular nightclub musicians in New Jersey. During Pesci's time as a musician he introduced Tommy DeVito(no relation to Pesci's Goodfellas character of the same name) to Bob Gaudio. Gaudio and DeVito became a members of the Four Seasons went on to great success with hit songs like “Walk Like A Man" and “Big Girls Don't Cry".Pesci and Vincent’s musical career was not as successful and in 1976 the two moved into film acting and starred in their first film, the Death Collector. The movie was not hugely successful, but four years later Martin Scorsese would cast Pesci and Vincent in his film Raging Bull alongside Robert De Niro. Raging Bull was a major hit and Pesci recieved praise for his performance in the film. During the 80s Pesci would appear in several other films including Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time in America, also starring De Niro. In 1990 Scorsese cast Pesci, Vincent and De Niro in Goodfellas and again in Casino in 1995. Pesci recieved high praise for Goodfellas and landed prominent roles in successful films such as, My Cousin Vinnie, A Bronx Tale, Home Alone and the Lethal Weapon series. Vincent would be type cast in gangster roles, but he also found success, most notably as Phil Leotardo the main antagonist in HBO's groundbreaking series the Sopranos.Pesci's career began to dwindle in the late 90s with less successful films including Gone Fishing and Eight Heads in A Duffle Bag. He went into semi retirement in 1998 after starring in Lethal Weapon 4. He spends most of his time golfing, but has also recorded a comedy album, Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You (named for his beloved character in My Cousin Vinnie) and has appeared in films sporadically including Love Ranch and The Good Shepherd (Directed by De Niro).Pesci will be returning to the screen in Scorsese's newest film, The Irishman, along side De Niro, Harvey Keitel and Al Pacino. Sadly Frank Vincent passed away in 2017 and this will be the first Scorsese film Pesci's appeared in without his old friend.
What is Joe Pesci like in real life?
In about 1988, I spent about an hour in conversation with Joe Pesci while he was staying at Penny Marshall’s home in the Hollywood Hills. It was after Raging Bull and just before he made his big rise in fame starting with the Lethal Weapon series.There is no way Joe would remember me. The meeting was serendipitous. I was just a guy who happened to be there for a trade-related purpose. Since I had never seen Raging Bull and never read movie credits, I had no idea who he was. Just a funny little New York Italian guy who was just another actor.My experience with Joe was as follows: First, he speaks just like he does on screen. He had a quick mind, enthusiastic, gregarious and seemed to be very interested in his life and enjoyed his friends and the people in it. He is a great story teller. He did most of the talking yet, never boring. He was funny has hell. Nothing specific really sticks out in the conversation which I could relate here. Just enjoyable conversation. The guy didn’t have any of the snob or elitist attitude quite a few actors have.

Joe pesci godfather?
Partially disagree due to timing but not completely. Here's why: Pesci is well received by fans in most gangster movies now which includes: Casino, Goodfellas, and A Bronx Tale. However, since he was young (29 years old) and unknown at the time, not to mention kind of short in stature, I'm not sure audiences would have embraced him in the Pacino (Corleone) role due to the different macho outlook that prevailed in the '70's which was a different time in U.S. movie history. In fact, Francis Ford Coppola had to convince the studio executives that Al Pacino was going to be popular and successful enough in the role, as they wanted someone else cast instead of "That midget Pacino" which is a direct quote from one of the studio executives against Al being cast at the time. Although, if they would have cast him in a supporting role like Fredo or something else, I think he would have fit into the movie well and that would have been interesting. However, he would have always been known as the guy that sold his own brother out. Which is how people viewed John Cazale (Fredo) before he died of bone cancer in March 1978. As a result, he may have had difficulty getting work afterwards and could not have had the opportunity to be cast in the other great movies he's made. You never know but I believe that everything happens for a reason.
