XP Scorsese casts him as Irish, that's your case p much
― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 17:06 (six years ago) link
nah, that's 7 different directors accounted for there. (Scorsese, Cimono, Leone, Mann, Gilliam, Jay Roach, and Martin Brest.)
― Old Lynch's Sex Paragraph (Phil D.), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 17:11 (six years ago) link
In fact, aside from Marty, the only times he's been cast as unequivocally Italian have been in movies nobody saw, "Shark Tale" (playing off his Godfather role), and Harold Ramis's "Analyze This/That."

Who is playing the Irishman
Is the obvious question. At least DiCaprio isn't in it.

to be fair robert deniro is generally cast as italian american characters
Aside from young Vito Corleone and Jake LaMotta, his most well-known roles are almost certainly named Travis Bickle and Jack Byrnes. Other well-known roles include noted Italians Rupert Pupkin, Jimmy Doyle, Michael Vronsky, 'Noodles' Aaronson, Harry Tuttle, Jack Walsh, Jimmy Conway, Max Cady, Ace Rothstein, Neil McCauley . . . gtf with "generally," I'd say fewer than 10% of his roles are recognizable or inferably "Italian."

there's at least 20 films he's appeared in where he plays a character with an italian name. he has made a ton of films mind you, so this probably only accounts for a 1/5 or so of them.

Frank Sheeran was born in Darby, Pennsylvania. Not the accent you expect. xp
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 17:29 (six years ago) link
Frank Sheeran was born in Darby, Pennsylvania,[2] a small working-class borough on the outskirts of Philadelphia. His family was of Irish and Swedish descent. He grew to his full adult height of 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) while serving in the Army during World War II.
Pesci should have played him.

I never watched Everybody Loves Raymond and really have zero interest in him but found him surprisingly decent in Vinyl (which was otherwise awful) and the Big Sick

some bold opinions here
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link
I agree Cannavale is pretty one-note. also he was *terrible* in VINYL. acceptable as loathsome villain in Boardwalk Empire I suppose.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 20:54 (six years ago) link
He was ok in BW but, again, he just had to play an ott psychopath mobster without nuance and he did the job.

the Joe Gallo role seems suited to Cannavale though i get Luca Brasi vibes from the real Gallo.
