[Johnny B. Decent]

Come on, everybody knows Pesci for Tommy DeVito.

[thefinker]

It's a given Tommy Devito will win this hands down. A great character actor.

[Mozenrath]

Harry Lime in a heartbeat.

[Jiren]

For me Leo Getz

[Aaron E. Dangerously]

"One dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other way, and this guy's sayin', 'Whadda ya want from me?' Guy's got a nice head of white hair, it's beautiful."

Tommy Devito

[Mozenrath]

When I was younger, I bought tickets to go see Gone Fishing, and was super excited to go.

Now I don't remember why I was excited, and I don't remember anything about the movie at all, other than Pesci and Danny Glover being in it.

I wonder if Joe Pesci ever knew about Carlin praying to him.

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

The standard putdown at my work is "Go get ya shinebox!". Tommy Devito for the UBERWIN

[H-Fist]

I still think of Joe Pesci as a Home Alone character first and foremost. Lethal Weapon would be second, followed by Goodfellas.

what a...what do ya mean he's "funny"?

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

I voted for Vincent LaGuardia Gambini. Although he does practice law under the name of Jerry Gallo.

[Ali Du Jour]

I voted for Vinny too. The first thing I thought of when I saw his picture was " Yeah, the two yutes." A lasting effect on my consciousness to now over-pronounce YOUTHS whenever it comes up.

Absolutely. Whenever I think of Joe Pesci, the first thing I think of is "OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK".
