What do you mean this article's funny? What do you mean, you mean the way I write? What? Funny how? What's funny about it? I'll have you know I'm no clown, and neither is Joe Pesci. At least not for the past few years, where the pint-sized rage machine has put in barely any on-screen performances, save for a cameo in his mate De Niro's The Good Shepherd and a role in little-seen 2010 drama Love Ranch. After coming up with Martin Scorsese with memorable parts in his movies Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and the casino-based remake of Goodfellas (Casino) - with a side order of hammy bad guy in the first two Home Alone movies, THE ONLY HOME ALONE MOVIES IF YOU ASK ME - Pesci announced his retirement from the acting game in 1999. Which is more than a lot of the people on this list have bothered doing, let me tell you. Of course he has appeared in bit parts since then, and in a terrible Snickers advert in 2011 for some reason (money, the reason was money). In fact the almighty dollar is probably the reason Pesci hasn't felt the need to act properly for over a decade, since he's instead been working as a producer on the Broadway/West End smash-hit stage musical Jersey Boys. No doubt the news that a film adaptation in the works will be good for his coffers, if not his career on screen. Still, at least he's not quit to pursue a musical career himself.
