# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born February 9, 1943, Joseph Frank Pesci became Martin Scorsese's go-to instrument for coiled danger, starting with Raging Bull in 1980. A decade later, Goodfellas gave him Tommy DeVito — the gangster whose casual brutality won him an Oscar — and cemented a run through Casino and eventually The Irishman in 2019. Between the Scorsese films, he proved range: the con in Once Upon a Time in America, the lawyer in My Cousin Vinny, the hapless crook in Home Alone, the wild card in Lethal Weapon. He retired in 1999, drifted back occasionally, and kept a side career as a singer across three albums. The through-line was always the same: you couldn't look away.
