The final scene - isn't that Joe Pesci?

In the final scene of this GREAT movie the character played by Tuesday Weld meets a new boyfriend. The actor very much looks like a young Joe Pesci, who would become famous about 15 years later (Goodfellas, My Cousin Vinny etc). He is not in the credits and Pretty Poison does not figure in Pesci's imdb filmography. This fact and also the small but very good and memorable part intrigued me very much. Anybody agrees, disagrees, knows something about this boyfriend actor??

It's not Joe Pesci, it's Ken Kercheval the guy from Dallas. He's listed in the credits for Pretty Poison as "Harry Jackson" according to the IMd. I have the movie on tape and it's not Joe Pesci for sure.

Regards.

Thank you. You are right. It's a striking resemblance though. Best regards.

Sorry - the guy at the end who meets Tuesday Weld and asks her out looks nothing like Joe Pesci - no matter what age he was. Stop drinking and viewing.

I happened to read this comment before the movies end. I watched for this scene and was amazed anyone could possibly think the guy resembles Pesci in any way shape or form. You sure you're not confusing Pesci with another actor ?? I mean its not even close... well, ok, maybe the same color hair... nothing else matches
though. Its like looking at a character being played by John Ritter and asking if he's actually a young John Wayne ! LOL !!

No, it's clearly Gary Coleman.
