Ah man. Ray Liotta.

'Goodfellas' is one of two films that I often say ignited my love of movies and set me on the life path that I'm currently on. I remember ever so vividly seeing the opening trunk scene and realizing "Wow, movies can be like THIS?! Okay then."

Rest in Peace. pic.twitter.com/oqAVpVofP2

There’s a lot I didn’t like about this movie but doubling down on Ray Liotta and having him play another character they only introduce moments after killing his first character? Perfect. https://t.co/SjMz7uNKeJ

From his first firecracker moments in Jonathan Demme's Something Wild that got him his part as Henry Hill, Ray Liotta always had something so special: sleazy, dangerous, sexy, shrewd behind those blue eyes. I'm at a loss – I thought he was too tough to die. pic.twitter.com/LrafIo833x

While Liotta was approaching his 70s, his acting career certainly wasn’t showing any signs of slowing down, having starred in two films in 2021 — No Sudden Move and The Many Saints of Newark — and had a bevy of projects, such as Cocaine Bear and The Substance, lined up in the coming years.

During his four-decade-plus-long career, Liotta starred in over 100 films, which the most significant being Martin Scorsese’s 1990 classic Goodfellas, which saw Liotta star as real-life gangster Henry Hill alongside the likes of Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. In addition to Goodfellas, Liotta was also known for roles in Something Wild, Field of Dreams, Cop Land, Hannibal, John Q., Killing Them Softly, The Place Beyond the Pines, Marriage Story, and more.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Liotta’s friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in Peace.
