I remember what a scary character he was in Something Wild.

Another underrated one I liked a lot back in the day was Unlawful Entry.

I am just shocked to hear this. Always fun to watch him act. Truly a loss

Wow this was a shocker. RIP to a great actor. Had no idea he was that old. He looked great for his age. I haven't seen him act in a long time though. Probably Wild Hogs which was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed him in his lesser known films like No Escape and Identity which is an underrated thriller.

He was very good in Cop Land as well, a film that I finally saw.

Makes you go hmmmmm. This was in 2019 but I thought something similar was more recent.

Tourist deaths in Dominican Republic were due to natural causes: FBI

Cop Land was an amazing movie and Ray was a big part of that.

Re: RIP: Ray Liotta - Dead at 67

Most of the time I'm not that effected by an actor's death, but Ray Liotta is one I really loved to see and for a couple of years I seeked out everything he was in, which wasn't always a good choice, but I always liked his performances.
Of course GoodFellas was his best movie, but I loved his performances in Cop Land, Narc, Phoenix, Unforgettable and No Escape.
15 Years ago he had a short lived tv show called "Smith" which I enjoyed a lot, but was cancelled after a few episodes.
His best acting he showed in an epsiode of 'ER'. The episode was so sad and beautiful, one of the best episodes of that great show.

Field of Dreams and No Escape are the 2 movies I have starring Ray Liotta. He was a damn fine actor. Sucks that he's gone...

It was a crap show, but I still recall Ray Liotta, at the height of his fame, was hysterical in his guest appearance on Just Shoot Me. I looked for a clip on You Tube but couldn't find one.

Re: RIP: Ray Liotta - Dead at 67

fucking fuck.

this one shakes my own mortality.

if you want an underrated Ray Liotta movie where he also plays the good guy go watch "Dominick and Eugene".

I remember watching the series. I didn't think it was that bad. Laura San Giacomo was nice on the eyes. And I had a thing for Wendie Malick.

I couldn't believe it when my sister texted me this morning. Damn. RIP tough guy. I will have to pull out my 4K Goodfellas disc, get tipsy and pay tribute to his memory.

Always think of this scene when his name comes up:

Not many watched it here, but he was really good playing a dirty cop on Shades of Blue. It aired on NBC several years ago. The character was also conflicted with his sexuality, which made him more interesting in the show. But, J-Lo was the lead and she got most of the publicity from that series.

This was unexpected but I loved Liotta in Goodfellas. He also appeared in Heartbreakers in which Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sigourney Weaver steals the show for the obvious reasons. The movie is not that great but I’m fond of it.

J-Lo released a statement. They worked together for 3 seasons on Shades of Blue.
