Actually Pesci's shortness works for him for the type of badass mob man he plays. It makes him more menacing.

He's a great actor, but I don't buy into that. And while he was great in Goodfellas, the guy he portrayed was actually a hulking brute in real life. That role should have gone to Michael Madsen, IMO.

That movie, while great, was not realistically cast. Ray Liotta and Robert DeNiro did not look anything like the real characters they played either.

Madsen is an unappreciated actor. Especially for the mob genre.

BTW, back to the subject of Bond, Madsen would have made an awesome recurring Felix Leiter.
