Since then Liotta has had a number of unsuccessful films including Unforgettable, Corrina Corrina, and Operation Dumbo Drop.

Robert De Niro is an actors actor. He has starred in seven of Scorsese's films and has received a total of two Academy Awards and a number of nonimations. He has even directed his own film titled A Bronx Tale which receieved very positive critical acclaim. In GoodFellas he plays somewhat of a father figure. He teaches the young Henry Hill to be a criminal and, along with Tommy DeVito, they all become close friends until the very bitter end. De Niro's role in this film is actually smaller than most of his usually roles. Right now De Niro is busy with his upcoming films Great Expectations, Affirmative Action, and, along with Ray Liotta, Copland. All which are planned to be released sometime in 1997.

Joe Pesci started his career alongside Scorsese and De�Niro is the critically acclaimed film Raging Bull. A role he got when De Niro and Scorsese tracked him down after seeing him in his only other movie titled Death Collector. Like his previous character Joey in Raging Bull - Tommy DeVito is a loud mouthed thug. Each time Pesci and Scorsese team up his characters seem to become even more pyschotic. In GoodFellas and Casino it's this attitude that brings him down in the end. Pesci pychotic tendiences as Tommy DeVito worked well enough to gander the attention of the Academy which rewarded him with an Academy Award for best supporting actor. He also received a nomination for best supporting actor for his work in Raging Bull.

Paul Sorvino plays the father figure to all the fellows in GoodFellas. He has been acting in film and television since the 1970's and has been in such movies and televison shows as Nixon, Law and Order, and The Rocketeer. His talents don't end at acting though. He is also an accomplished singer and has sung in many concerts and televised events. The name Sorvino may actually be more recognizable from Paul's daughter Mira Sorvino. Mira Sorvino gained major acclaim from her role in Woody Allens Mighty Aphrodite for which she received the Best Supporting Actress Acamdemy Award and the Gloden Glodes Best Supporting Actress Award. Right now Paul Sorvino has three different films lined-up for release in 1997.

He would run around town taking care of his phone calls since Pauly hated using phones. Tuddy would also run the pizza place and other small businesses. GoodFellas was actually the first film that he acted in. Followed shortly by the two Wayne's World films in which he played a character called Mr.Big. The last film he acted in was Kiss of Death. Before all this though he was the manager to pop singer Michael Jackson and he even produced his Moonwalker short film.

This is the only film which has starred the young Christopher Serrone. He plays a young Henry Hill who gets a job at the food stand across the street from his house. He knows what goes on in there and so does everyone else but he doesn't care. Actually, that's the main reason that he wanted the job because he always wanted to be a gangster. He gets his first taste of the life of a gangster when he gets his mailman beaten up for delievering a letter from his school to his parents. From there he continues his life as a criminal until his adult life. Ray Liotta plays the role of an older Henry Hill.
