JOE PESCI | 78

Joe Pesci is one of the actors who has a humble beginning. In the 1960s, he worked as a barber before he entered the music scene. After his small gig, he performed as a comedian and is half of the comedy duo “Vincent and Pesci,” joining Frank Vincent from 1970 to 1976. He was then discovered by director Martin Scorsese and received a credit role in the film, Raging Bull, and has had a collaboration with the director in some of his succeeding films.

Aside from his iconic roles, Joe is also part of the Chstirmas film, Home Alone. He previously announced his retirement in the past when he came across a conflict with Fiore Films, which are the producers of Gotti, as they failed to stand by their word to have him cast. Things eventually changed in 2019 when he was cast in another Scorsese film entitled, The Irishman, which was released by Netflix.
