Macchio outgrew the urban youth characterizations and watched as male lead roles became few and far between – thanks in large part to his ever youthful looks.
Macchio's thankless role was overshadowed by the furniture-chewing going on around him between Pesci and future (and surprisingly) Academy Award-winner, Marisa Tomei.
Never one to wallow in past successes, Macchio shifted his big screen focus to the stage, making his Off-Broadway debut in 1986 alongside Robert De Niro in "Cuba and His Teddy Bear," which was successful enough to make its way to Broadway.
