I mean, of course ER. But also Corinna Corinna. That's the first time I actually SAW him, if you see what I mean. Behind the gangster stuff. Oh, my heart in that film. We can park that in the emotional release catalogue, along with Be Generous. So sad.
I never understood how his career never really took off into A list stardom after Goodfellas in the way so many other actors have done so especially when working with someone like Scorsese. He was one of those rare actors that even if he starred in a bad movie, he never once phoned it in for a quick pay check (even in Wild Hogs).
I always thought he would have been the perfect actor to be in Tarantino movies as well.
He was terrifying in almost everything he did - can you imagine him turning up at your door at 1am to let you know you didn’t finish your Heineken too? I quote that “that becomes a different matter” line quite regularly.
Beautiful, Terri. I must be getting old. I cried reading Joe Carnahan's piece about Ray in Empire and again with his Instagram piece. When people really know someone and you experience it, just for a moment.
Perfectly put. A brilliant read. I’m stunned by his death and feel a burning need to watch him on screen and revisit his exceptional presence

This was my first Liotta film as a kid and it stole my heart, he stole my heart - I 100% fell in love with him in that film.
