Both guys are good, very short, and distinguished actors. Which guy do you feel has had the better career? & which do you like better?

wow, tough call but i'd have to go with Devito just because of his role in Cuckoo's Nest.


although i'd have to say that Pesci has had the bigger career.

Devito is more well-rounded even though Pesci is easily the better drama actor.

I was watching Twins today and thought how the movie was only watchable due to him. He just has a terrific presence for a 5 footer.

Yes, Pesci did Home Alone, but for teh most part, he's almost been type-casted. I think he was stellar at some points, but he's just not someone I want to see in every single movie.

I give it to DeVito by a count hair.

Danny Devito was sheer awesomeness in Romancing the Stone.

Tough call.

I'm tempted to give the nod to Devito, just for his comedic acting in Always Sunny, but Pesci in My Cousin Vinny

Pesci FTW

Devito.


Pesci is ok....but I'm like the only guy on the planet who thinks Goodfellas and Raging Bull weren't all that.

Raging Bull, in my opinion, was a tad overrated. I just never saw it like so many others see it.

Can't believe nobody mentioned Ruthless People when talking about Devito.

I'll probably go with Pesci though.

I love Frank Reynolds but I'd give the edge to Pesci.
