[Kenneth Haight]

Damn, a true legend. Some amazing films

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Wtf. Rip.

 

[Sub_Level]

RIP

Goodfellas and Vice City are masterpieces in their respective mediums.

 

[YCoCg]

Out of nowhere, damn, out of the main three from Goodfellas you'd never guess he'd be the first to die.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Ah crap. I googled it briefly to see if he had any illness. Didnt see anything.

He was great in the movie Narc playing a tough detective.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Legend.

 

[DragoonKain]

Most recent thing I saw him on was Saints of Newark. Very sad, liked him a lot.

 

[Romulus]

Dude had such a youthful appearance throughout his 40s and early 50s. Then started with the plastic surgery.

 

[Catphish]

balls

 

[Max_Po]

WOW... HOLY SHIT ... Rest in Peace.

 

[LordCBH]

God no….. this is so damn awful to hear. Absolutely loved his work. Goodfellas is one of the best movies ever made

 

[DKehoe]

That's a sad loss. 67 is too young. He was great in Many Saints of Newark, so he still had so much left to give. Condolences to his family.

 

[Prison Mike]

Absolute legend gutted........

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Holy shit.

 

[clarky]

RIP fella.

Goodfellas is a god tier film.

 

[chromhound]

WTF

 

[OverHeat]

Ok this hit me like a rock…RIP

 

[Batiman]

Fuck…. RIP.

What a legendary laugh

 

[ManaByte]

Quick someone build a baseball field in a cornfield in Iowa and we can get him back.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

RIP. Condolences to his loved ones.

Wasn't aware that he was sick with anything. Even with Chadwick Boseman who kept his illness private, towards the end you could look at him and think "wait a minute, something's wrong..." No such thing with Liotta.

He may be gone but he will always live on, in his awesome movies!

 

[jufonuk]

RIP legend.

 

[poppabk]

Man, I just finished the final season of Hanna last night. He was still kicking ass, and looked good.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

WOW RIP.

Less than half hour ago I was recommending goodfellas..(coked up helicopter scene)

FFS

My favorite gangster film

 

[Javthusiast]

Out of nowhere, come on world. RIP.

I think my first contact with his work was through GTA Vice City when it originally launched. He was great as Tommy and VC is still my favourite gta game.

 

[ManaByte]

My favorite gangster film

Sopranos literally wouldn't exist without it.

 

[Big Baller]

RIP

 

[Solarstrike]

So many great movies he was a part of. Spent many a night watching films like Goodfellas, Copland, Blow, Narc. And of course, the iconic and memorable voice of Tommy Vercetti in the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City game. One of the most popular games ever made. He'll be sorely missed. Rest well Ray

 

[El Pistolero]

This is the destination, and sooner or later, we will all join him into nothingness, or jump into an entirely different realm of "existence". At least he died in his sleep...I do hope he passed away peacefully, with all my heart. RIP...

 

[lem0n]

Will watch Goodfellas this weekend, maybe boot up Vice City. Man, what a blow... RIP Ray

 

[David Ricardo]

As I grow older, my perception of too young to die changes. This felt way too soon.

Rest in peace

 

[BennyBlanco]

RIP legend

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

WTF

rest in peace, gangster

Ray Liotta Dead at 67, Passed in His Sleep in Dominican Republic

Ray Liotta dead at the age of 67. The ‘Goodfellas’ actor passed away in his sleep while filming a movie in the Dominican Republic. RIP.

www.tmz.com

Ray was shooting a movie called "Dangerous Waters" on the island, and a source close to the actor tells TMZ ... he died in his sleep. We're also told there was nothing suspicious about the death, and no foul play is suspected.

Rest well and thanks Ray. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. He had a grown daughter. He was awesome in the tv series "Shades of Blue" with Jennifer Lopez(Played a corrupt cop leading a
dirty police unit with J. Lo as his most trusted friend).

He has one daughter, Karsen Liotta, from his previous marriage to Michelle Grace. Karsen is following in her dad's acting footsteps.


Ray was 67.

 

[AJUMP23]

Young, Great actor.

 

[TransTrender]

Dang.
Terrible news.

 

[darkangel-212559]

THE FUCK.

What a legend. He'll live on forever in many films so many millions love. Especially Goodfellas. A true icon of the cinema. Rest in Peace.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Man, what a loss. Condolences to his family.

 

[Corpsepyre]

This hurt really, really bad. Never thought he'd be the first of the Goodfellas to go

R.I.P.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Fuck, that was unexpected. R.I.P ☹

He gave one of my favourite slag beat downs.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Fuck, that was unexpected. ☹

He gave one of my favourite slag beat downs.

And that beautiful '66 big block Corvette.

 

[PJX]

Out of nowhere. This has stung me.

 

[StateofMajora]

Damn. Rip.

I actually thought he didn't sound too good in the last interview I watched with him... Heavy breathing.

 

[Kev Kev]

Aawwww bummer I liked him

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

RIP LEGEND
