Home Alone could have been very different as legendary actor was set to play villain Home Alone could have been a very different film if a few casting choices were changed during production.
The casting choice for the role saw Pesci, who would win an Academy Award for his role in Goodfellas that same year, take the reigns as one of two villains.
Pesci was also approached for the role around this time and, when he accepted, the team could not believe they landed the Raging Bull star.
The hit 1990 comedy classic starred Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, with a slate of iconic supporting cast members including John Heard, Catherine O'Hara, and John Candy.
Decisions behind the scenes eventually led to the casting of Pesci as burglar Harry Lime, but he was not first choice for the role.
