      I worked on 'Home Alone 2' in Chicago as a Special Make-up Effects Artist in 1991 and talked with Mr. Pesci, he was up for Best Supporting Actor in 'Goodfellas' (they gave him time off from his schedule to fly to California to attend the Academy Awards, which he won). I congratulated him on his win and told him how much I enjoyed his work and chatted with him for a little while. He was quite cordial and very soft spoken, just the opposite of his screen persona. A great memory of that time with a great actor.

    Just a few fun facts about Joe Pesci:
    He's partly responsible for the success of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons-Pesci actually introduced a few of the guys to singer and songwriter Bob Gaudio, who would go on to write many of the group's biggest hits. There's even a scene in the Jersey Boys musical about it.
    Throughout the '60s, Pesci made a name for himself in the Jersey music scene, playing guitar in groups like Joey Dee and the Starliters, an early rock and roll outfit that also hosted a young Jimi Hendrix as guitar player for a brief moment. Pesci put out his own solo album in 1968. This was before Raging Bull, before Goodfellas, before the actor was even on Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese's radar. It's called "Little Joe Sure Can Sing". It's a collection of covers of pop songs from the era, like the Beatles' "Fool on the Hill," "Fixing a Hole," and the Bee Gees' song, "To Love Somebody."
