Do you like the actor Joe Pesci?
Joe is a smart guy. On talk shows, he was very likable. As a comedy protagonist, he accels.
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.
Which actor do you prefer, Steve Buscemi or Joe Pesci?
i gotta go with Pesci on this one, dont get me wrong i like both, but Pesci plays the crazy tough guy like no other. He is just that dude you dont f*ck with. And who can forget his performances in raging bull and my cousin vinnie, classic with the accent and all. The back and forth dialogue with him and deniro in raging bull is really cinema magic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Vxewepb... BQ- pesci- Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Casino Buscemi- Resevoir Dogs, Fargo, and Lebowski, wait thats you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJUvPZI3C... bq- says its deleted. --- i really liked Buscemis work in the sopranos and boardwalk empire he is growing on me, i didnt like him in the lead at first, but im starting to see that he does fit the role pretty good.

Is Joe Pesci really a maniac?
Pesci (pronounced Peshi), an Italian American, was born in Newark, New Jersey, the son of Mary, who worked part-time as a barber, and Angelo Pesci, a forklift driver for General Motors and bartender.[1][2] By the time Pesci was 5, he was appearing in plays in New York.[2] A few years later, at 10, he was a regular on a television variety show called "Startime Kids," which also featured Connie Francis.[2] He started out working as a barber in the 1960s, following in his mother's footsteps. He released an album entitled Little Joe Sure Can Sing under the pseudonym Joseph Richie, accompanied by a band that included good friend and future fellow actor Frank Vincent.[2] He played guitar for Joey Dee and the Starliters, and was an extra in Dee's film "Hey, Let's Twist!", where he made his film debut.[3] Subsequently, he performed with De Niro in the films Once Upon A Time In America (in which he was cast at the behest of his friend De Niro), Goodfellas (for which he received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1990[4]), and Casino. The pairing became famous enough to inspire a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live, called "The Joe Pesci Show". (The real Pesci and De Niro would eventually make a surprise appearance in one episode). Pesci hosted Saturday Night Live on October 10, 1992. During the monologue, he restored a picture of Pope John Paul II, which was torn by Sinéad O'Connor on the previous broadcast.
