Joe Piscopo Movies
Best remembered for his work on the long-running sketch comedy show
Saturday Night Live between 1980 and 1984, comedian
Joe Piscopo has also had a sporadic movie career. Heralding from Passaic, NJ, he started out in standup and also worked in regional and improvisational theater before joining the show. On SNL, Piscopo was famed for his dead-on parody of
Frank Sinatra and other celebrities ranging from Abraham Lincoln to
Leonard Nimoy to
Barbra Streisand. He made his feature-film debut (not counting an unbilled appearance in
Dino De Laurentis'
King Kong) in
Johnny Dangerously (1984). ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
