Joe Pesci

I couldn't help but think of Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas in comparison with Little Caesar. A short, emotional, violent guy like Rico. And even though Robert Blake may not have done a similar role (has he?), I think he could have done Little Caesar as well.

I agree with the Pesci statement... Not that I'd ever wanna see it unless done perfectly right, Pesci would be the perfect in a Little Caesar remake. Probably the only guy who could pull the role off. Nice comparison.

Yes! JP built his entire persona around this character.
