I was saddened to learn of Ray Liotta's death at the age of 67. Far too young these days.
For me Ray will forever be Henry Hill, the young mobster in the Scorsese scorcher Goodfellas made in 1990. Ray's portrayal of a young Italian-American mafioso in the Fifties was and is simply electric and his amazing acting holds together the sweeping saga of De Niro, Pesci and Bracco as Henry Hill weaves his way through the storyline.
Easily the best Mafia movie since the Godfather and that's largely down to Ray Liotta's fabulous talent.
Sleep well Ray.
RIP.
A great actor and a great best movie.
ReplyDeleteMy mates and I always called him 'Ray the Otter', which made him sound like a character in Tales From The Riverbank !
Good one Mish. Hard to believe that Goodfellas was made 32 years ago. I wuz 29 when it came out. I was mesmerised.
