Jim Belushi turned down the Vinny role in My Cousin Vinny.

Jim has done very well for himself but that was a pretty big mistake.
Jim also said the funniest SNL cast members were his brother, Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy.

Why? Just because it was a good movie, doesn't mean it would've been with him in it.

He said he was busy with that TV show he was doing at the time, "According to Jim". And yes, it may not have been the same with him. Joe Pesci nailed it.

Thank God. Pesci was money.

I can't picture anybody else playing that role other than Pesci. Perfection

I like "Taking Care of Business." That is all.

Correction...It couldn't have been the TV show Jim was doing because that came a few years after the Vinny movie. I only heard parts of his interview on the Dan Lebatard show, and I guess I heard wrong on the reason why he didn't take the Vinny role.

Thank God. No one couldve made that movie better than Pesci. No one.

K-9. Guilty pleasure.

Cause I'm the principal, man.

It wouldn't have been nearly as good. Pesci nailed that role.

Something can be said for him not losing his mind for not taking the role.
I heard the dog from K-9 offed himself after the success of Turner and Hooch, because he turned down the role of Hooch.

He couldn't have owned it as Pesci did.

If you ever watched Community they are extremely hard on Jim. They've mentioned his name at least 4 or 5 times.

Yeah - I mean, Tomei did a great job and made Pesci look good. I like Jim Belushi, but Pesci was a much better fit for the role.

He nails every role he plays
I'm trying to think of a movie he is in that I don't care for but I'm drawing a blank

Joe did a movie with Danny Glover called Gone Fishin'. That movie was pretty lame.
