why is he over looked?


He is a great actor i think better then pacino and deniro. so why is he over looked is it because he's short? haha that was a pun. seriously though why isn't he brought up in the conversation of whos the best actor of all times? The guy steels every scene that he's in.

Gary Oldman is the greatest actor to ever live.

O.K.; let's take your example of DeNiro.

DeNiro has actually played different types, believably. He is an actor.

Pesci is typecast because he can, like most people working in cinema, only play himself.

He has NO range.

I know you can tell the difference because you like Gary Oldman, who is indeed a great actor.

Rambo first blood! Could you imagine? The cliff/ chopper scene. Bahahaha

Only play himself? Hes not a mobster...

He was in my cousin vinny and home alone.. two of the best comedies of all time
then we did of course casino,goodfellas, and raging bull.


Not too many actors have had that type of success in drama and comedy.

its because hes short and not sexy.

Better than Pacino and DeNiro? That is truly one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

Home Alone and Goodfellas, two totally different types of characters, did extremely well in both, therefore he is a great actor. Yes he does often get typecast but still, Home Alone and Goodfellas were both huge hits so you don't need to look any further.
