Of course! He always plays memorable characters! I'm afraid he's a bit typecast, but you never forget films he's been in.
shareTotally.
shareTin Men, good actor, but mostly a comedic actor.
shareHe was originally considered for the role that Joe Pesci played in Casino.
shareI don't think DD is strung high enough to pull that off.
shareHe would have been just as good but in a different way. The guy has energy just not quite that level of crazy spite. It wouldn't have come off like a dark comedy. Honestly, Joe in Casino was too much like his performance in Goodfellas. Danny would have been less deranged, but still evil. I can imagine Nicky's final scene with Dominic still being poignant.
shareYeah, very good.
shareThe way I look at it. He manages to make a great living at this in an industry where looks are typically the key to success.
So yes he is a good actor.
