Joe Pesci behind the scenes with Benny Rabbit.

Joe Pesci (b. 1943) is a character actor best known for his "tough guy" roles in such films as Casino and Goodfellas (winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor).

In 1994, he appeared in the special Stars and Street Forever as Ronald Grump, a parody of Donald Trump.

Pesci was directed by Martin Scorsese in the aforementioned films, Raging Bull, and The Irishman. He worked with Robert DeNiro on all of them, as well as the Sergio Leone film Once Upon a Time in America and the De Niro-directed A Bronx Tale and The Good Shepherd (with Angelina Jolie). Other dramatic films include JFK, Catchfire (with Jodie Foster), and The Public Eye (with Del Close). Pesci frequently channeled his wisecracking toughness for humor, as comedy relief Leo in the Lethal Weapon movies, burglar Harry in Home Alone and its sequel, and starring as the title character in My Cousin Vinny.
