Give me one good reason why Pauly Shore couldn't have played Henry Hill in "Goodfellas"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

"Thirty-two hundred dollars he gave me. Thirty-two hundred dollars for a lifetime. It wasn't even enough to pay for the coffin."

[Orsino]

1. 1. He can't act. n/t

[joeybee12]

2. OMG! I'm blind, I'm blind! n/t

[peekaloo]

3. Henry, you don't talk so much. You don't talk, you don't eat........

Spider would have been a good role for him.

[flvegan]

4. As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. Cuz I'm tha WEEASELLLL!!!1

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. They DID offer...

.
... the role to him first... but he had prior commitments.

6. After an incredibly hectic day on Wednesday, I arrived home at midnight...

and played "Jump Into The Fire"
Mrs mitchum asked me why.
I told her it been a Henry Hill day.
She said, "What?"
I said, "It's a guy thing, you wouldn't understand"

[MrCoffee]

7. Because Pauly Shore couldn't play Tic-Tac-Toe, much less Henry Hill

[condoleeza]

8. Aw, c'mon, he's actually a pretty nice guy

[MrCoffee]

10. Doesn't change the fact that he's a shitty "actor"

who would be flipping burgers right now if it wasn't for his mom.

[condoleeza]

11. True that

[Jade Fox]

9. Someone in the cast would have killed him....

before the film was completed.

12. The Evil of Nepotism

Other than W., has there ever been any other completely talent-less hack who benefitted more from Nepotism than Pauley Shore?

[mitchum]

13. James Belushi

[Yavin4]

17. Awful? Yes. But Not Nearly As Bad As Pauley Shore

Belushi did great work in the Oliver Stone movie, Salvador, along side of James Woods.

Shore has done NOTHING significant EVER.

[MiddleFingerMom]

19. "Salvador" is one of my all-time favorite movies...

.
... and you're right, James Belushi was fantastic in that.
.
James Belushi (as Doctor Rock in "Salvador"): (waves a beer bottle
at the gangsters] "Okay, cocksuckers, how do you like these odds, huh?"
(attempts to break the end of the bottle, but it doesn't break)
.
Not to mention: (about Ronald Reagan) "Can you believe that a straight man
to a chimpanzee is going to be the next President of the United States?
I mean, doesn't that depress you?
.

[BurtWorm]

14. Because Paul Sorvino was also in that movie and that would have made two Paulies on the set.

:patriot:

[HughBeaumont]

15. The Real 70s Henry Hill looks more like Javier Bardem than Ray Liotta.

[Deep13]

16. Isn't "Hank" a nickname for "Henry?"

[jmowreader]

18. Because Pauly Shore sucks so hard he's got a vacuum gauge implanted in his chest
