The Big Picture

  • Sebastian Maniscalco's comedic presence enriches the depth of Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and adds levity to the film's late-period masterpiece.
  • Maniscalco's performance as "Crazy" Joe Gallo showcases his versatility as an actor and his ability to embody the theatricality of a showy gangster.
  • The Irishman serves as a reflection on the decay of the old-school gangster, and Maniscalco's portrayal of Gallo highlights the self-destruction and downfall of this archetype.
