Ray Liotta Tributes Pour In From Martin Scorsese, Kevin Costner, Lorraine Bracco and More: ‘Passionate, Brilliant Actor’

The actor was in the Dominican Republic at the time of his death shooting the movie “Dangerous Waters.” Liotta went to sleep and never woke up, the actor’s publicist confirmed.

“Goodfellas” director Martin Scorsese remembered the actor in a statement, “I’m absolutely shocked and devastated by the sudden, unexpected death of. He was so uniquely gifted, so adventurous, so courageous as an actor. Playing Henry Hill in ‘Good Fellas’ was a tall order, because the character had so many different facets, so many complicated layers, and Ray was in almost every scene of a long, tough shoot.

“Sopranos” creator David Chase, who recently produced “The Many Saints of Newark,” in which Liotta appeared, said in a statement, “This is a massive, unexpected shock. I have been an admirer of Ray’s work since I saw him in ‘Something Wild,’ a movie he wrenched by the tail. I was so glad he worked on ‘The Many Saints of Newark.’ I believed strongly in my heart that he could play that double role. He created two distinctly separate characters and each performance was phenomenal.

Liotta is forever known for his performance as mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas.” His other well-regarded roles include playing Shoeless Joe Jackson in “Field of Dreams.”

RIP Tommy Vercetti

Wonderful actor, a great loss!!!!!

No one can ever replace him. Born an original. Lived an original. Died an original. His talent is timeless. RayLiotta ❤️

Rest In Peace Ray🙏

It's somewhat ridiculous to use the word courage when referring to acting. There's literally no such thing as courageous pretending.

😢🙏 RIPRayLiotta
