The following year, Pesci's career got back on track with "Lethal Weapon 2" (1989), in which he provided scene-stealing comic relief as a fast-talking gregarious accountant on the run after embezzling from the mob. Pesci enhanced his fame and won a Supporting Actor Oscar with an explosively violent yet often humorous portrayal of a mobster in Scorsese's "GoodFellas" (1990). Later that year, he successfully moved to slapstick comedy to play a bungling burglar victimized by a resourceful Macaulay Culkin in the surprise blockbuster, "Home Alone".

His notable credits include a controversial character turn in Oliver Stone's "JFK" (1991). The starring role of an amateurish lawyer who learns on the job in the popular comedy "My Cousin Vinny" (1992) and reprising his characters in two profitable sequels, "Lethal Weapon 3" and "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" (both 1992).

He also starred as a crime photographer in the 40s period movie "The Public Eye" (1992).
