In Goodfellas he shoots a kid in the foot trying to make him dance; later, when the kid mouths off – because he’s kind of annoyed at having been previously shot in the foot — Pesci’s character shoots him dead.
In Casino he plays Nicky Santoro, a guy who stabs a fellow mobster in the neck with his own pen just for making a wisecrack about a friend. It’s hardly surprising Pesci basically retired from acting not long afterward: it’s kind of hard to built a movie around an actor who murders everyone else in every scene.
