Martin Scorsese originally offered Joe Pesci the role of Paulie, since Pesci was decades too old for the role of Tommy. Scorsese even auditioned young unknown actors for the role of Tommy, including Michael Imperioli, who would go on to play Spider in the film. However, Pesci eventually convinced Scorsese to cast him as Tommy and try to make him look younger using makeup.
