I agree that Pesci is a great "mob actor". What's kind of strange about this argument is that he's been in four major mob movies, and of those, two have been very small roles ("A Bronx Tale" and "Once Upon a Time in America"). The other two roles ("Goodfellas" and "Casino") are classics, though.
He's talented enough to be able to pull off comedy as well ("My Cousin Vinnie" comes to mind).
