Joe Pesci in Real Life
The name of Joe Pesci probably conjures images of mobsters and menacing glares, thanks to iconic roles in classics like “Raging Bull” and “Goodfellas.” He also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the latter. He’s also the guy who made us laugh in “My Cousin Vinny” and the “Lethal Weapon” series.
Like a true gangster, Joe pulled a disappearing act in 1999 to strum some tunes and flex his musical muscles. However, he couldn’t resist the allure of the silver screen, making a comeback with a handful of films, including the Martin Scorsese classic, “The Irishman.”
