- Joe Pesci has won acclaim for his wide range of roles, as he can do serious dramas like Raging Bull and laugh-out-loud comedies like My Cousin Vinny with equal skill. However, Pesci stopped acting full-time in the late 1990s, only appearing in a few assorted projects in the years since, leading many to wonder why he’s spending so much time home alone.
It’s actually quite complicated, as it involves a music career, a few famous exes, and even a hitman, so strap in. Let’s take a look at the real reason why we don’t hear about Joe Pesci anymore.

What was your favorite Joe Pesci scene? We're going to have to go with almost everything in Casino.
He's a legend that's for sure
Looper You forgot a movie he was in.
Looper he was also in Easy Money staring Rodney Dangerfield. thats a good movie.
my cousin Vinny
Looper my favorite movie is goodfellas
i saw Joe at a restaurant in NJ a few years back. He actually apologized to my wife and i b/c he and his friends had thought the restaurant was empty, so they were cussing up a storm. They only saw us on their way out. We didn't care; we couldn't see Joe et al from where we were sitting, but we heard their whole convo and it was one of the most entertaining lunches I'd ever had.
"The Real Reason We Don't Hear About Joe Pesci Anymore"
He retired
The end
Pikopati 'Cause he got wacked in Casino, ya mooks! 😂😂😂
Pikopati thanks, didn't want to see this shit of a video.
Pikopati I love you :D
Some dude came up missing, they found a bloody baseball bat on Pesci's property. He was indicted, a judge got paid off, bada bing, all that. That's why he hasn't been acting. He had to lay fuckin low for a lil bit
Who fuckn cares unless you live in the states . The land of the totally fucked up moron
From the Goodfellas, to Home Alone....thank you Joe for what you've done man....much Love!
Cant fault that comment, totally agree
Ditto
They came out the same year if anything from raging bull to casino he has been the best
Casino and Goodfellas, he was terrifying in casino
Tony Mazzola he was intimidating in A Bronx Tale as well.
@@WhitePony-zu5pi He and De niro so good at what they do that are intimidating 😂
@@WhitePony-zu5pi Pesci wasn’t in A Bronx Tale, that was Chazz Palminteri.
@@jayvillane Joe pesci was in a Bronx tale, he only had a small part though at the end of the movie at the funeral.
If that's what you call terrifying then you have no place in the streets
Actually he was shot in the head, having been fooled into thinking he would become a made man.
I don't know, but I'm pretty sure him and his brother were beaten with baseball bats, then buried alive in the middle of a corn field...
@@Slimjim7678 i felt both sad and happy during that scene.
He's an actor you wish would never get old!
I hope he never dies...
TheRasputin67 2 true
TheRasputin67 Unfortunately WE ALL GET OLD
Rasputin: Amen!!!
Yeah, right. And in a couple of those recent pic's they had of him, he's not the young cute little "macaroni munchkin" he used to be, sadly. I'd love to be able to meet him one day, just to congratulate him and tell him how much I loved the characters he CREATED!
He's in some cornfield with his brother
Joe Pesci can do whatever he wants. HE IS A STAR AND SUPER HERO....
José José
a super hero? you mean like, superman and iron man?
CASINO is a Masterpiece.
samus1421 absolutely
I love Goodfellas so much but I think Casino better than Goodfellas. Casino is best Scorsese movie.
Cm Dndr Cm Dndr absolutely. Ive seen both 600 times, but i hold casino in higher regard. Especialy since peaci is so fit for the role he plays. He looks so fuckin similar to the real dude. And all his gangster scenes were the best. So many great quotable scenes. One of my personal favorites,
“Well from now on ima start keepin records”
Artie, no records artie! Whatya gonna do with records? Pay taxes?”
“And i couldnt believe this shit, piscanos expense report took the cake, what a fuckin baloon head” lmao
Johnathan Jaco yeah dude xD Have great quotes and great humor scenes. And much deep than Goodfellas or Raging Bull, Taxi Driver.
HE KNOWS THE MOVIES OF TODAY ARE ALL SHIITE COMPARED TO HIS CLASSICS. GOOD ON JOE.
No, today's movies are all Sunni.
BWAH ha ha ha ha
lol alalalalalalalalaaalalalalalalalaaaaa alloha snackbar.
yes he does....YES HE DOES
nashwpg That's another reason for him to make a comeback. Show this shitty movies what's up!
"He's gone. He's gone. And that's it."
@@ClaudetteDiek it's a Good fellas reference
And there's nothing we could do about it. 😜
He's a "funny" guy...
"So you find me amusing eh?"
"What? Am I hear to f*ckin' amuse you!?"
Le Nguyen what do you found funny about me? I'm a clown? I'm a fucking clown?
Funny how?
How I'm? I funny do I amuse you?
Do I look funny to you? I'm I a clown? How I'm I funny ? 😂😂😁😁
joe needs to make one more mob movie as a Boss
Gladiator Spear Who else would be in it?
BenjaminGessel
De niro off course who else?
Agreed. Who else? :) Gotta have some young bucks in there. Pacino is getting older, same thing with Liotta. And DiCaprio, I dunno, I'm not sure he's really cut out for mafia movies... Mark Ruffalo would be an interesting choice. Same thing with Joe Pantoliano, maybe vincent D'Onofrio... Chazz Palminteri actually might be a very good choice as well. Also Andy Garcia. But we still need more young bucks... Michael Imperioli maybe... :D Or Milo Ventimiglia... I dunno... But there will neeed to be a good number of "soldiers"... Maybe time for some new talent/younger actors, with this movie...
The bum needs to stay retired. He is too simple to be a BOSS!
lunatic
How am I funny? Like a clown, I amuse you? I'm here to fucking amuse you?
"woow wow wow, you got it all wrong"
Vendzor no no no vendzor you don't understand
Vendzor Yes, exactly. You are here to amuse me.
your just...funny...you tell funny stories
Listen vendzor, you ow me 7gs here, I mean this ain't peanuts
I hate these real reason videos. Seriously. Love Joe, but he’s made his money, let him be.
Robert De Niro's directorial debut was "A Bronx Tale" in 1993. Not the " The Good Sheppard" (2006).
He was nuts in Goodfellas but supreme in Casino.
I tell people this all the time. Although he won an Oscar for his role in Goodfellas, and while it may have been a slightly better movie, he had a lot more scenes in Casino. Not only that but the dialogue between him and De Niro in Casino were some of the best I've ever seen in cinema. He could have easily won an Oscar for that role as well but I guess since he already won an Oscar for a similar role in Goodfellas he gets a lot more praise for it. However I too thought he did an even better job and played an even more ruthless character in Casino.
He was heavily underrated in Casino. The scene with him and De Niro in the desert was the best "argument" acting I've seen to date. I'd love Pesci to come out of retirement and get back into acting. Gifted actors like him need to teach some of today's actors a few lessons about the profession.
Yeah exactly!
You're right it's not all about Pesci being in more scenes but the roles he played in both of those movies were very similar and weren't distinctly different from one another. That kind of gangster role is what got him the Oscar in Goodfellas to begin with. So what I'm saying is in Casino you get a bit more from him as that type of character which fans of Pesci like myself may have enjoyed and appreciated a little more because he was in more scenes and had a lot more dialogue between him and De Niro that wasn't scripted in Goodfellas as much as it was in Casino. Not to say one or the other is the better movie because I love them both but as far as Pesci and De Niro's work in both of those classics I would have to say I think they gave an even better performance in Casino.
Agreed!
"The Real Reason We Don't Hear About Joe Pesci Anymore"
We had a problem, and we tried to do everything we could. He's gone, and we couldn't do nothing about it. That's it. He's gone.
c szabo haha!
c szabo They whacked him they fucking whacked him.
*phonebooth gone too*
it was revenge for Billy Batts, Billy was a made guy and Tommy wasn't, we had to stand by and take it, it was between the Italians, real grease ball shit
"...and that's that."
I f**king love Joe Pesci! He's just amazing! Miss him, but respect his decision to retire! He earned that right no doubt!
Cant wait to see his new movie coming out “The Irishman”
I love Joe Pesci. I'd like to see him no matter what kind of part he plays. I do hope he comes back while he can. JOE you're not getting any younger. Get out there and show your stuff. A fan forever.
Good Shepherd was De Niro's directorial debut? So did A Bronx Tale direct itself??
I mounted my high horse to come here and say that, but you beat me to it haha
Warren Spencer lol, ME TOO!
Warren Spencer it was the actor that played sonny who directed a Bronx tale
Grant Keelan why are you letting your horse smoke weed?
Fiona Hendry no was De Niro who directed Bronx tale not Chaz
I saw Pesci at a Starbucks I shit you not, I asked him for a picture and he said "ok but hurry up your gonna make my fucking coffee get cold and honestly I don't have time for this shit"......lol....I swear to God! He was joking of course!!
Robert De Niro's directorial debut was A Bronx Tale. Btw Joe Pesci made a cameo in that movie
The dude is old and Italian. Not everyone is a workaholic.
shut up
no you stfu
I'll vouch for that I'm Italian and if I have enough money at any given time I always choose to just kick it and chill
He said shut up..not stfu. @@ItalianWarrior777
He is not Italian,he was born in America which makes him American. To be Italian you must be born in Italy.
"I pray to Joe Pesci" -- George Carlin

Carlin was a turd!
"Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around!"
Joe Pesci came thru on a couple things God couldn't handle
dinares gurus
the
Both Pesci and De Nero are such convincing characters because they are basically being themselves.
Did you smoking something dude? How they are being themselves? Ok for Pesci, but even so, they are not
De Niro's directorial debut was A Bronx Tale, 1993.
A genius always knows when to quit while he is ahead. Joe ruled Hollywood, Hollywood didn't rule him!!

Liotta is such an underated actor....Scary too
Did you ever see him in SOMETHING WILD with Melanie Griffith? He flips that movie on its head and it's incredible.
David Pearl he ant scary
David Pearl vinnie jones
John he is scary. Look at when he played the cop in The Place Beyond the Pines
The Most Interesting Man in the World I will give you that 1 ☺
Robert De Niro's directorial debut was not "The Good Shepherd" (2006), It was "A Bronx Tale" (1993).
He’s to make his screen comeback in the upcoming Martin Scorsese flick: ‘The Irishman’ with an all star Mob cast; Robert DeNiro as Frank ‘The Irishman’ Sheeran, Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa, Harvey Keitel as Angelo Bruno and Pesci is to play as Russell Bufalino.
Anticipating if you ask me.
Cause he has a fuck load of money of doesn't need to work anymore.
Joe Pesci is truly one of my heroes. It takes true talent to jump from humor to top notch drama, and only very few such as the late great Robin Williams, pull it off. Hats off to you Joe, we do miss you bro!
Robin WILLIAMS! What the overactor who embarrassed us in 'Patch Adams's?
Having said which he seemed a decent bloke and his suicide was sad.
When he was well directed, cast against type he could be terrific. Too often Hollywood encouraged his manic irritant act, which is NOT acting. I mean Good Morning, Vietnam' with its grotesque changes of register
I dont agree with you on everything, but I dont disagree with you on everything either. Thank you for comment.
This is a great video. I was curious about him because of his role in Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker".
His role in "My Cousin Vinny" was a true gem. On my list of top ten best movies. Marisa Tomei and Fred Gwynn were also outstanding.
He makes a good ganster mobster. He s too good to act as an out right goon. The only draw back i have is the swearing the movie makers seem to think it needs to inhance their movie. Mostly having joe p useit so much. Other wise i haven see any other glitches in his perfomances. Way. To. Go. Joe.
Good Fellas and Casino, ahh yes. Two of my favorite movies. He's 1 of my favorite actors
Both top 10 movies, goodfellas is top 5 for me, casino in the 7 to 8 spot for sure
Joe Pesci has made me laugh so many times! I love him, I think he is a fabulous actor!
Heidi Jacobsen So you're saying he's funny?
He's a comedian!!!!
Heidi Jacobsen he amuse you?
Funny how ?!
I think the goodfellas references went over Heidi's head...The Super was another funny movie with Pesci that they didnt mention but i really liked.
"My Cousin Vinny"! Vintage now, but still a great flick to watch. He's solid funny! Favorite scene was when he was sleeping out in the car because the town was too noisy and woke up to mud! LOL
I'm really happy for him ,gone fishing was funny good movie,if I had billion 's and made movies he'd be one actor I'd pick for a movie .
Home Alone 1 and Home Alone 2,The Wet Bandits.
Gone Fishin',Joe Pesci and Danny Glover.
I love those movies.I'm 52 years old but I never skip an opportunity to watch Home Alone movies.
Thumbs up for gone fishin
It doesn't get enough love
Its my guilty pleasure movie
And I'm 26 years old but I love that movie
Order movies were just so much better
Everything went to sh*t after 2010 😂
I miss seeing joe pesci in movies...
yeah he's an epic actor.
I don't
same
jmorrisonsgirl he is a great actor his roles in home alone 1 and 2 and in the lethal weapon franchise are among his best!! Imma big movie fan!! I love movies
thaistomp he is a great actor his roles in home alone 1 and 2 and the lethal weapon franchise are among his best!! I love movies!!
One of my favourite actors, unbelievably versatile. A living legend. I hope the Irishman is a great film, it may be the final time we see him and De Niro together in a film.
You didn't mention his singing albums with Joey Defrancesco as "Joe Doggs" -- he sounds amazing on that album and there are also live videos of him with Joey! MUST SEE!
Now go home and get your shinebox.
Surfmus
Surfmus Yea he killed the shit out that guy lol
Lmao, love that line
Your fucking shinebox*
Don't let him leave...
Why doesn't anybody talk about his role in "The Super"? That was one of his funniest movies by far. He plays a Jewish slumlord named Luis Kritski who gets court ordered to move into his own building until it's brought up to code and from there it's hysterical. If nobody has seen it I highly recommend it as it is definitely one of my all time favorite Joe Pesci movies.
I hope Pesci is proud of that one... sneaky suspicion he isn't but YUPPP! , that is a good old movie in my book! Makes ya feel good.
is it on netflix?
visionvanson that was a good one too also easy money
Never stated/implied that the character is Jewish btw
visionvanson Gimme the rent!
+Looper....'The Good Shepherd [2006] certainly was not Robert De Niro's directorial debut. His first film as director [and actor] was the excellent Chaz Palminteri penned 'A Bronx Tale' made over a decade earlier in 1993.
Good video! I'm glad to see that Joe is happy. It's really good that you bleeped the foul language. Not everybody wants to hear it and that was very good of you to think of those people. 1Thumbs Up. Thank You, Merry Christmas, and Godspeed!
the last time anyone saw him, was when he got beaten up and buried in the desert.
That really was a gruesome scene.😱
Miss him and his acting! Different and super to the profession!
Don't forget 'Public eye' with Barbara Hershey where he turned in a genuinely unique, brilliant and touching performance. So sad the film is not readily available. I have a VCR copy which is one of the few ways you can watch it. Pesci I think, is my favourite actor.
Some mis-information. "The Good Shepard" was NOT Robert De Niro's directorial debut. That would be, "A Bronx Tale,' in 1993.
Must have pissed off the Jews.
@ Brian LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm dying hahahaha if there's a love on the comment I'd put it! So legit! lol
Hahaha!!!
+Brian From Zircon
Is this a reference to some movie?
There I was thinking A Bronx Tale was De Niro's directorial debut!
Chaz paliwhateva directed that..the guy who played sonny
@@JohnJohnson-sm8jc Chazz Palminteri was actually the writer... De Niro directed
@@Sniper-fg2zt correct, based on the play Chazz wrote in 1989
to me,he's one of the best actor ever,the one who can do many characters & win people's hearts..even if he did a few movies but am sure he is still very known like ever
He's funny.
I always Loved Joe Pesci!!
Nearly every line Joe says in My Cousin Vinny is a classic
he can do whatever the fuck he wants from now until forever... because was a great in his time....
Kelso Nobody fucks with Joe Pesci!
Joe Pesci will play a character named "Russell Bufalino" in a film called "The Irishman" due out in 2018...
Very true...He was 46 when he got his Oscar...
Old-Guy-Rants Who's directing it?
Martin Scorsese of course...Lol
Jaden West Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino are also in it, I'm really hyped for it
Oh Wow...Al Pacino plays Jimmy Hoffa...Even Harvey Keitel is gonna be in it...This movie is gonna be epic like The Godfather...':-)
they've turned Lethal Weapon into a television series. what in the fuck is happening to the world?
Jimothy Snooker Its actually pretty good.
name is dumb but i understand them since they found semi lookalike actors... its actually good to watch fun...
Jimothy Snooker yeah the actor who plays Riggs takes it in a new and different direction give it chance damian Waynes is actually really likeable and in this series they dive deep into Riggs backstory with his wife.
Love that show.
I don't doubt it's a successful show but it didn't need a remake. it's a pure money grab. it's just crazy to me that everything gets a television remake. even Macgyver for fuck sake. maybe I should check them out before being so harsh.
I enjoy watching "Gone Fishin", and bring it out once a year to watch again. He and Glover were hilarious, and I really miss his acting.
If Lethal Weapon 5 gets done, I hope he has returned (Pesci) 'Leo Getz' "anything you need Leo gets'...also LOVED him in the 'Home Alones' and ESPECIALLY in 'My Cousin Vinny'.
He's back in the next Martin Scorsese movie,The Irishman.
Something tells me he won't play the Irishman
Bomb Twenty he doesn’t look Irish at all
George Is Straight Elite DeNiro plays Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran.
Yeah, , I was offered a small part in "The Irishman" and told not to cut my hair for my scene..Let my hair grow for 6 mos...UhHuh..still waiting.
George Is Straight Elite he's obviously going to play Jimmy Hoffa in that film.
Why was the word Jew bleeped? It's not a curse word or a racial slur. DeNiro's character was Jewish
Because it's offensive and racist towards Hispanics. Just because they can't pronounce you we should not be laughing at them.
I grew up with Joe Pencil in Belleville , NJ. He played hollow body guitar and sang songs , also did stand up comedy. My favorite was him doing porky pig at Yankee Stadium. I laughed so hard I cried.
I first met Joe in 1959 at Saint Mary's C Y O. My mom just had been ill for a while . My cousins whom which I sang with , told me we were going to the dance at cyo.
That night on stage with his band was Joe. He sang a song called My Mother's Eyes. No need to say tears came to my eyes thinking about my mom. He noticed me crying ,.when he came down he asked if I was ok. My cousin explained about my mom. I can go on about growing up with him , and the four Seasons and others in Jersey ,but we all don't have that much time. Lol.
I lost contact when I went off to school to become an executive chef.
I'd love to see Joey again. I got a million stories I can tell you about Joe Pencil. All good.
My all time favorite actor. Favorite films of his are Home Alone 1 & Home Alone 2 & The Casino
Joe Pesci is awesome!! Come on Joe make a comeback!!!
Truly one of the greatest of all time
Robert Dineros directorial debut was A Bronx Tale, over ten years before 2006.
GoodFellas-His death scene in the house. The way that he portrays his character slowly grasping as he surveys the room and then realizes they are alone, and he is about to be killed is just a perfect portrayal of of what would have been going through the guys head.
Robert DiNero needs to retire, like, 10 years ago.
Trish TV more like 20
Trish TV You aint lie
One expression - like he just smelled a nasty fart. Jabbing forefinger as he speaks. He's rubbish and has been fooling Scorsese for decades.
Bobby is a fucking libtard asshole.....goes with the ideology.
Awesome part he did in 'Brasil' ... The handy man... insane character-type acting of him you seldomly see from him.
robert de niro s directorial debut was in a bronx tale
Sumanta Nandi I just posted the same thing. LOL
Good Shepherd - 2006... Bronx Tale - 2009
Legend
that Snickers commercial you must be super models a favorite actor of mine
Joe Pesci one of my best actors ever
Agreed.
Joe Pesci is absolutely one of the top 10 greats of all time. The man can take on any kind of a role and fit right in and make it work. An extremely talented actor and the looks to do about any role...One great guy!!!
Goodshepherd was not De Niro's directorial debut... it was A Bronx Tale, which pesci was also guest star
Wrong, Robert Deniro directed A Bronx Tale before The Good Shepherd. 1993 was his directorial debut.
He would be the perfect actor to play "TUCCO", if they ever remake "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY" !!
Sumantr Arora
Yes but who would now play Clint Eastwood's and Lee Van Cleef's parts? Any suggestions?
I've just had a thought.Maybe Viggo Mortensen ( Clint Eastwood) and Ray Liotta (Lee Van Cleef)
So sick of remakes. Hollywood ripoffs that are seldom better than the original. They just want to separate you from some money.
Never remake a perfect movie!
Tell that to the greedy Jews that run Hollyweird and keep copying the originals. Fucking skull caps! LMAO
Joe Pesci networth is over $50M.. He'll be just fine.
I've always love joe pesci since i was a kid. mainly from "my cousing vinny" and "home alone"....but that acceptance speech was epic, I have to put him in my top 5
Joe Pesci is great
he's gone…..and we can't do nuthin about it
It made him sick to have to turn money over to the guys who stole it. He'd rather whack em! Anyway, what did I care?
CZcams is known for its shit comments; this one however, is byooodiful +1
It was revenge for Billy Batts... and a lot of other things.
it's was real grease ball shit amongst the Italians
KiloByte what happened to him is he still alive
a damn good actor.
My favourite scene is every scene he's ever been in lol!!!!
1:58 That speech was beautiful
I would love Martin Scorcese to work with him one more time.
Jose Rodriguez Martin Scorsese are gathering all of them up for his upcoming movie called The Irishmen. Al Pacino and Harvey Keital are going to be in it too!
Robert De Niro's First film as a director wasn't the good shepherd it was A Bronx Tale from the 1990s ye bunch of clowns
Sean Mooney yeah for fuck's shake. Couldn't they just research it first?
Ever heard of punctuation you clown?
I thought Bronx Tale was a great movie
tod4y you ever heard "Fuck off" ? I bet you have, so many times ,.,.,!?:;'"
The Good Shepherd wasn’t De Niro’s directorial debut. It was A Bronx Tale in 1993.
The first one I remember with DeNiro and Pecsi was Once upon at time in America
An amazing actor

Did you even watch the whole thing? He says multiple times that he comes back for choice roles and that it is absolutely possible to see him in the future. What else did you have a gripe with?
I was just talking about this yesterday when I watched his movie love ranch for the first time... Which is a good movie. but he was in all of our top five list
The Gotti film that Pesci was originally cast in, the one you said never started filming at the time, finished filming the month before you released this video 😊
