Something wrong?He's the wiry menace who made volatility an art form - the guy who could pivot from homicidal mobster to bumbling burglar and make both feel inevitable. Joe Pesci turned supporting roles into the scene everyone remembers.

About this person
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.
