Was i the only one who wasn't convinced by Pesci in Goodfellas. What i mean by this is that from what i have read of the book Tommy was a large framed man 6,2 in height and pyschopathic. I didn't really get that feel from Pesci in Goodfellas, although i feel he was definitley the right choice for the role and what was right for the movie.

Anyone bigger would have gave the movie an even darker tone which probably wouldn't have worked. For me Pesci lightened the scenes for me, ok he came across as unpredictable but i never really felt it, like portrayed elsewhere. Still amazing. I thought Pesci came off scarier in Casino. I think its the fact many of Tommys/Pesci's scenes in Goodfellas are telling wiseguy jokes and the high pitched voice reminds me too much of Lethal Weapon lol.

For me Paul Sorvino as Paulie was very under-rated. That look he gives Sonny when he says they should just whack Tommy is better than words.
