Joe Pesci is suing the producers of a movie about the Gotti mob family, alleging they cut down his role and paycheck after using him to attract investors.

The actor filed a lawsuit against Fiore Films, the company behind ‘Gotti: In The Shadow Of My Father,’ for the $3 million he claims to have been originally promised to play John Gotti, Sr.’s friend and enforcer, Angelo Ruggiero.

According to Pesci, who says he gained 30 pounds for the part, he’s now being offered only $1 million and a lesser role.
