When I was 19 I worked a Q&A screening for NARC at Arclight. Ray Liotta was incredibly kind to everyone, even the star-struck kid (me) who couldn’t help but awkwardly talk to one of his favorite actors. The man is a legend & leaves a long legacy of incredible performances. RIP

I’ll never forget how terrifying #rayliotta was in SOMETHING WILD, the first time I’d seen him. Years later I directed him on FAMILY GUY and he was so sweet, almost shy. A magnificent actor. RIP

I try not to do the RIPs but Ray Liotta was truly one of my favorites to watch. He just has this magnetic draw to his performances, which is part of the reason Goddfellas remains tied with Aliens as my favorite film(s) ever made.
This one stung more than usual.
