πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

Buddy Hackett auditioned to do the voice of Paulie but lost to Jay Mohr, who did an impression of Hackett. Buddy Hackett does appear in the film in a small role as Artie, the Pawn Broker, and during his scene Mohr also appears in person as Benny. Hackett also did the voice of the talking seagull Scuttle in The Little Mermaid (1989).
