Joe Pesci pretty much retired from acting after Gone Fishin'. I think he was in The Good Shepherd before this and nothing else. What a waste. Ah well, at least this will remove the sour taste of him dropping out of Gotti. Although, it's probably a godsend he didn't get involved in that.
Pesci was actually in a good movie called Love Ranch in 2010, based on a true story about the Mustang Ranch (Reno brothel) owner who killed a boxer having an affair with his wife.
