Deadline hears he died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic, where he was shooting the film Dangerous Waters. We will have more details when they become available
weird, it’s becoming the Dominican Triangle
Will be interesting to hear cause of death. Died in sleep?
of mine and rumor had it that he was a patient there and had a whole floor to himself. This was about 2000. Never heard a thing about it publicly. Sad.
was pretty good in a gritty but low budget film, I think with Jason Patric, called NARC I believe.
He also had some nice supporting roles in a few films over the years, where he just added his flair even if it was a brief role, that kind of added something or gave other characters/actors a little bit of credibility.
His Henry Hill was iconic. Goodfellas is still my favorite movie of all time.
I recall when I worked near Trump Tower, I went to grab lunch at a local pizza place and as I waited for the light to change, I looked at the guy to my left and I noticed it was Ray Liotta. He was dressed incognito, so I didn’t bother him.
Will one of these channels finally show “No Escape”??!!!?
“Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free cars. The keys to a dozen hideout flats all over the city. I bet twenty, thirty grand over a weekend and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or go to the sharks to pay back the bookies.”
I met Ray once at Sundance back in 2002, a helluva nice, regular dude. He parked it at the bar with us and watched NFL playoff games throwing back some cold ones. One my favorite actors, what a punch to the gut. Fuck.
You're not the first person to say Ray was really really cool.
Fucking annoying...as I get older these ages look a lot younger to me. 67 included.

67 is literally around the corner for me. I just turned the big Six- OH

Yep, this was the film he was promoting when I met him at Sundance. Worth watching.
I just watched Ray in a very under-rated movie on Cable -- Killing Them Softly starred Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini and Ray played a supporting role. As usual, he brought his A-game to this production.
If this movies is on your Cable network...give it a try.
One of my favorite roles of his was as that crazy mofo Ray Sinclair in Demme's Something Wild. His character was scary as hell, and he pulled it off. RIP.

Oh yeah. Killing Them Softly. Forgot about that one.
Killing Them Softly was an interesting role for him
It's a shame he didn't understand GTA and had a falling out with Rockstar because he still is the best voiceover character in that franchise. They were planning to do so much more with him and Vice City which fell apart due to the falling out.

Saw the movie Sammo and I loved it. Very dark .... Patric plays a narc detective investigating the death of another undercover cop who became an addict and kills someone by mistake?
I might be mistaken it with another movie but, both were good movies - that I remember.
Lotta good roles and underrated movies through the years
Just finally started Many Saints of Newark earlier this week, wasnt in a hurry with all the moxed reviews. Im about halfway through and am enjoying it.

after Goodfellas, Tommy Varcetti might be his most well known "role". That game was huge.
it’s a true hidden gem of an action movie. they don’t make too many like that anymore, unfortunately. movie had a gritty quality that can only be achieved without CGI.

He's had a couple good roles, but he'll forever be a legend for Goodfellas. I may fire that up tonight or play some Vice City in his honor
Also great in Cop Land. There was another movie where he played a dirty cop that was good. I think Christian Slater was in it.
Thinking of Unlawful Entry? That was Kurt Russell with Madeline Stowe..

he jumps off the screen in that.
Underrated movie. Whole cast of character actors just hamming it up.
As a kid I loved Operation Dumbo Drop.
Very sad, much too young..

Another one of those guys who when you start to go over the roles he played you realize that his career was a lot bigger than one once thought.
Made all his roles effortless. Looked like to me at times he wasn't even acting - so periodically I would wonder about his talent?
He was a great actor though.
RIP.

:stating the obvious:
Shoeless Joe Jackson: No, Ray. It was YOU.
RIP to a great one.
May he RIP
Loved his work. RIP
Yep, he was very funny in it. Didn't do comedy much but did it well.
