Film
Casper
Joe Nipote was handpicked by Steven Spielberg to play "Uncle Stretch" leader of the "Ghostly Trio" in Universal/Amblin's animated feature, "Casper." Joe followed the feature by bringing his ghostly character to the animated series on the Fox network.
Soul's Midnight
Joe plays Father Dominic, the local priest who's been under Simon's rule for over 40 years. Simon, played by Armand Assante, finally turns on Father Dominic and makes him a permanent slave. However, his life as a vampire is cut short in a very dramatic way.
Back by Midnight
In "Back By Midnight," Joe plays "Ears," the greatest safecracker out there. Joe endures 3 hours of makeup everyday to wear those oversized ears, and on a set with many comic's, including the director, you can imagine the teasing that came his way. The film stars Rodney Dangerfield as "Jake", the prison warden. Jake lets Ears and three other inmates out to rob a department store, owned by Randy Quaid (Eli, who coincidentally also owns the prison), to give the prison a fresh new look. Together the inmates and Jake work out the heist and must be Back By Midnight or get caught by the other prison guards. The film was directed by Harry Basil and written by Rodney Dangerfield and Harry Basil.
It was Rodney's last film before he left us.
