That basset hound Christopher Nolan cast in The Dark Knight.

I mean, if you don't think Pesci was intimidating in Goodfellas, then I don't know what to tell you.

I thought he played a psychotic killer perfectly. It didn't matter if he was 6'4" or 5'4".

Yeah, Pesci totally ruined that movie for me. I kept thinking everyone knows Tommy Deimone was 6'4"?!?!?!?!? How could they do this!??!?!?!?! How can you have an actor who isn't identical to the semi-biographical character?!?!?!?! Seriously not even a remotely good take. Pesci nailed the pscyho part which was much more important than height.

Actually it makes perfect sense. Hire a great actor to play a part. See, casting done easy.

out of all the roles to choose from, you choose one of the best movie characters of all time? C'mon man.

I think that Maggie Gylengal in The Dark Knight is up there.

I liked Howard better in this role than Cheadle

Yeah I dunno want Scorsese was thinking here. Totally miscast, especially when you are acting opposite of Leonardo DiCaprio and uhhh...Daniel Day freaking Lewis.

One of my favorite movies ever but she was so shitty in this. The only thing she had going for her at that point was being blonde but they gave her red messy hair and she wasn't nearly attractive enough to warrant all the attention she got.

It's not bad enough to be in the worst of all time category but I watched Don't Worry Darling recently and Chris Pine as some kind of L. Ron Hubbard spinster didn't fit him at all
