He doesn't speak, but his cameo in Kid Rock's Cowboy video is cool. He fights a mini-Joe Pesci (with the real Joe being little, that's really mini!), complete ol' Ron Jeremy on piano.

Beginning at 2:25 in the video. Check out that belt buckle!
Playing alongside Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro in Goodfellas was no small task. He did a great job though as the gangster Henry Hill taken under De Niro's wing. I almost didn't realize it really was Gary Coleman in that role. Remember this scene?
You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?
Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.
[laughs]
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?
Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong.
Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Henry Hill: Jus...
Tommy DeVito: What?
Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.
Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little f***ed up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to f***in' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?
Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the f*** am I funny, what the f*** is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!
Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the f*** out of here, Tommy!
Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherf***er! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning
My favorite is from a little known "Different Strokes" episode when he tells Dana Plato's character, "Bring that white pussy over here, baby!"
"I didn't get a chance to mack because AIDS came out in 82. All the women ran and hid."
"I'm not news, I'm just stupid."
"There never has been, there never will be any nude photos of Gary Coleman. I don't care how much you wish it, how much you want it. It ain't happening."
I really liked him best when he was the anchor for the CBS evening news. Gary Coleman was truly a great reporter and could put you in the news.
I also liked his famous quote from M*A*S*H:
GC: 'What the fvck do you want?'
and Happy Days:
'What the fvck do you want?'
Which one was he in Roots? I can't remember if he was Chicken George or Kunta Kinte. I know his performance was riviting.
I think his finest performance was when he played "The Voice" in Field of Dreams. He was never seen; only heard...and felt. It still gives me goosebumps. He should've won a f***ing Oscar for that.
Martin Luther King, Junior only had a dream. Gary Coleman fvcking lived the dream.
He was such a brilliant actor, sometimes I'd forget he was black!
"Did you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?"
That was hilarious.
"Hey Dana and Todd, what's that white powder on your nose."
“Oh-Tay!”
To Jackie Chan:
"Nobody understand the words coming outta yo mouth!"
Daniel-san,
Karate no here (pointing at chest)
Karate no here (pointing at stomach)
Karate here (not sure where pointing at)
"Stop, drop and roll."
"A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
Gary Coleman was also an inventor, most notably of roller blades and pop rocks, although he maintained to his death that the George Foreman Grill should have been called the Gary Coleman Grill, as George's only idea was to put his name on Gary's invention.
How could you forget? Mrs. Garrett thought he was a cat turd on the floor and kept trying to sweep him up!
