Joe Pesci

Post by JunkerMike »

Since this game is partially inspired by Lethal Weapon, I'm curious to know if there's a character based on Leo (Joe Pesci's character in the Lethal Weapon films) or whatever.

Salvatore Toscanini looks a little like Joe Pesci's character, I think.

I always thought Salvatore was based on Joe.

He's one of the great underrated actors in Hollywood. One of my favourite supporting actors, actually.

Whoops, I forgot that 8m.com doesn't allow outside linking. Thanks for reposting them.

And no, he doesn't go, "Okay okay okay okay" in Policenauts. They look similar, but their characters are very different.

For those too lazy to google lol~
His role in Goodfellas was disturbing after being so used to goofy 'ol Leo Getz. That was the 2nd role I'd ever seen him in that I could remember... Wait a sec, wasn't he in Home Alone??

Yeah, he was. He and Daniel Stern played the burglars. Two good actors taking on questionable roles.

His best roles are mainly with Scorsese:
Raging Bull
Goodfellas
Casino

Then there's his other brilliant performances in:
JFK (a standout in an amazing cast ensemble)
My Cousin Vinny
With Honors
The Public Eye (his best, in my eyes)

As you can see, I've been a fan of his for a while, now. :smile:

I tried my best to make Salvatore talk like a real NYC Italian guy in the English version. It's harder to do since you only have text to go with, but I feel it works.
