JOE PESCI | 77

Joe’s collaborations with Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese in the films Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino, made him a fan favorite. In 1981, Pesci was able to win a BAFTA Film Award for Newcomer to Leading Film Roles. He then was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. In the following years, Pesci appeared in several films such as Dear Mr. Wonderful in 1982, Eureka in 1983 and Easy Money in the same year. He was also featured in A Bronx Tale, which was a comeback role for him after he announced his retirement from acting in 1999. Pesci was among the cast for the most recent Scorsese masterpiece, The Irishman.

Despite going on a few hiatuses during his time as an actor, Pesci never needed loans or the help of a bank when it comes to his finances. We wish him a healthy and financially stable retirement should he decided to leave the limelight for good.
