Where the *beep* did he go?
He was one of the most enigmatic actors of the 90s and now I didn't know he was alive.

shareHe's been taking quite a few sabbaticals. I know he went for 8 years then came back and did the Good Shepherd. He's in a position where he can take time off, whether it be for personal reasons or semiretirement. Personally, I'd rather see him pop up every 3-5 years then never again
shareJoe Pesci mostly retired because he doesn't have to work a full time schedule anymore, provided he wisely invested his money.
Not to mention the decent royalties Pesci still receives for his films, including the classics he made w/ Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese.

Why did Joe Pesci quit acting?share
He didn't.
He just earned so much money in such a relatively short period of time that he decided to take a break. That “break “ lasted nearly a decade and now he's unlikely to return to the hectic schedule that he was maintaining during the 1980s and 1990s before and following his breakout role in Goodfellas.
Additionally for every financial hit he was in like My Cousin Vinny and Casino, there was a The Super and Gone Fishin’. Pesci’s box office take was too inconsistent and so he moved into the background. He returned in 2006, although even then he took supporting rather than leading roles.
Finally Pesci is 78. While his health is supposed to be good, he probably doesn't feel like traveling to California from his New Jersey home for much film work. Since he's wealthy, he doesn't have to, and so he doesn't.
As much as I'd love to see him be in another movie, it's entirely up to Mr. Pesci himself.
BLACKOUT!
You're so full of it. So many of you liars on this site. Nobody thinks you're cool.
