"As far back as we can remember, Ray Liotta had always been a great actor. Type of an actor who was always committed, never phoned it in, and always elevated the material no matter what the role was. Some actors need a good director to do that, some don't bother if they're in some low-budget, possibly direct-to-video type of film. Not Ray. His enigmatic screen presence, remarkable charisma, and his amazing ability to bring so much depth to whoever he plays had always been appreciated by movie fans.
For a man so versatile and someone who's known to be a great person off-screen as well, it's surprising that he never got an Oscar nomination. Recently, it seems the hype was building up to him getting his due but unfortunately, at the age of 67, Ray Liotta has passed away. However, he left us a rich legacy we can always go back to."
