8 Actors Who Should Come Out Of Retirement For One Last Role

3. Joe Pesci

Mark my words, there's a renaissance on the horizon for Joe Pesci. And it doesn't involve making more Snickers commercials. Pesci fell off the map after Lethal Weapon 4 (1998), and again after a bit part in The Good Shepherd (2006), giving one last death rattle for 2010's Love Ranch, costarring Helen Mirren, which, sadly, no one on planet earth saw. Pesci very recent decided to give voice acting a go, so if we're talking semantics here, Pesci may not have officially retired from Hollywood, but doing voice work is the next closest thing. I'm positive he could be dragged back in front of the camera if the part was right. No more of these action comedies that use him as a clown (we know how much he hates being the clown). Get him back to playing the ill-tempered mobster, but this time make him the Jack Nicholson of The Departed. Pesci has always had a presence slightly bigger (no pun intended) than the roles he was given even in his prime, and now marks the time for him to show us those chops.
