He had a smol but useful part in Funny Bones (1995), which is one of my all-time fave films.

Superb soundtrack, too, also, from Raymond Scott to Memphis Minnie.

I liked it too. The Wikipedia article quotes Roger Ebert saying
“Scorsese doesn’t want laughs in this movie, and he also doesn’t want release. The whole movie is about the inability of the characters to get any kind of a positive response to their bids for recognition.” He concluded that the film “is not, you may already have guessed, a fun movie. It is also not a bad movie. It is frustrating to watch, unpleasant to remember, and, in its own way, quite effective.”
I liked the movie, and I agree. I think without Sandra Bernhardt’s very weird Masha it would’ve been quite a bit less watchable.

Even if in many ways it’s “Taxi Driver but with a talk show host”, it’s a much overlooked Scorsese masterpiece.

When my aunt passed, one of her friends played the bagpipes at her funeral, during the burial part… he played amazing grace while walking away from the graveside, and everyone broke down…
