[edit] non-smoker
under trivia it stated that joe pesci's characters 'invariably' as in w/out any variance, smoke, but as one might recall, his portrayal of david farradine (sp?) in JFK was a chain smoker, and that's just off the top of my head; thusly i changed it to 'ususally' which still could use some verification.
[edit] Infobox
The infobox for this article seems to be broken. I can't figure out what's wrong. If someone figures it out, could they tell me what was wrong for future reference? yalbik 22:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mob vs. Mob
Can we have a source for this film, and Joe Pesci's co-starring therein? I can find no information about the film---IMDB has nothing---and I'd like to see a source for it, or I'm going to remove the sentence (which is very poorly worded, by the way). ---Charles 05:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- I removed it. There is no source whatsoever for this movie anywhere online or under any of the aformentioned actors pages. Totally unfounded rumor.

- Thank you. I was hoping some information might come to light, but I am damned if I could find anything. An interesting rumor, but a rumor nonetheless. ---Charles 05:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
This article really needs to be expanded. A great actor such as Mr. Pesci deserves much more than a stub.
[edit] George Carlin
The quote about Carlin praying to Joe Pesci is wrong. This is what Carlin actually says
"You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Two reasons: First of all, I think he's a good actor, okay? To me, that counts. Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't f*** around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with.
For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog, Joe Pesci straightened that c***sucker out with one visit. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat."
I didn't want to put it into the article because I wasn't sure if the vulgar language would be appropriate. Here's the source for this: http://www.celebatheists.com/index.php?title=George_Carlin -unsigned 12/12/06
is pesci sicilian?
[edit] Criminal psychopath...?
"Law-enforcement agencies have profiled Pesci, a psychopathic criminal."
I was about to delete this because it seems pretty ridiculous... can we get some sources on this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.32.25.92 (talk) 21:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Real-life mobster?
In the trivia section there's quite a lot of negative notes about Joe Pesci, such as slapping Sharon Stone, being a school bully and assaulting Robert De Niro. This makes him look more like a mobster than an actor. Is this stuff true or is it just a silly attempt by someone who's prejudiced against Italians to make Joe Pesci look bad? If it's the former, then we need citations to prove it isn't vandalism. 88.11.125.218 15:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
