RIP Ray Liotta. I learned of his death this morning not from here, the news, or anywhere else, but while reading the GTA Online subreddit. Rest in peace to one of the greats. Aside from all the well known roles we've already talked about, his turn in Unlawful Entry is so good. Ray at his creepy, menacing best.

Mister TV Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 That Liotta wasn't even nominated for Goodfellas is criminal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 When I think of Ray Liotta, it's as Tommy Vercetti in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Still the best GTA game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Looks like Bo Hopkins has passed as well. Funnily enough I watched a movie called Mutant yesterday where Hopkins was the sheriff with a past that drinks too much and Wings Hauser does a rare face turn.

J.T. Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Ray Liotta was hardcore. The "Paul Eats His Own Brain" scene in Hannibal was the fucking best and it was all because of Ray Liotta being a total dick despite being drugged and having his cranium sawn off. The fact that he has no idea what Lecter is doing to him makes the horror all the sweeter. He was also awesome in The Details. The scene with him on the bridge with Tobey MacGuire always gets to me.

Curt McGirt Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 In a really, shall we say, Grand Guignol movie, the brain eating scene was quite the capper. You have to laugh at it but man that's gross. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I don’t think I’ve seen it since I reviewed it in 1992, but I remember him being good and creepy in Unlawful Entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I guess he did a lot of video game stuff. I never heard of him either, but it was trending, so I figured I’d post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy's obit would actually be more fitting in the Anime thread as he was a core voice actor in everything from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure to Demon Slayer and the Netflix reboot of Grappler Baki. He also performed in video games like Shin Megumi Tensen. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apparently is one of the characters I liked quite a bit so it will be nice to finally hear some of his work when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy Dunlop Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) Aw man, the Seinfeld scene might well be my favourite sitcom scene ever. Playing a friggin' library investigations officer as a hardboiled cop show detective was just so fucking good; he is note fucking perfect in that scene. No surprise Seinfeld couldn't get through it without corpsing. ''Well, let me tell ya something, funny boy'' and 'Well, I got a flash for ya, joy boy, party time is over'' are still quotes me and a mate of mine will drop randomly to each other in messages. RIP to one of those actors who even if he was in something shit you knew at least he'd be good in it.

I just recently re-watched Hard Eight. Really good movie, and Hall is amazing in it. Also love him in Magnolia even though he plays a dude that's most likely a piece of shit.
