Way, way, WAY too young!! He didn't age well and wasn't lookin' that good these past few years. I would have NEVER guessed he was 67!! Really enjoyed his movies and what he contributed to the entertainment world. RIP...

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

While I was killing time playing on the world wide web, I read of his passing.

He died in his sleep at the age of 67.

I just watched Smoking Aces last week where he played an FBI agent.

He had so many great films but I don't think he was given the credit he was due.

That's shocking! He did a great job in GoodFellas which is in my all time top 10 favorite movies.
RIP Ray

Damn man. This is out of hand now. Copland was his signature role along with Goodfellas. RIP, loved your work.

This one I can truly relate to. He made an impression on me in Goodfellas. I saw him in a couple of movies afterwards.

He's not the classic "beautiful" person with his pockmarked face but he wasn't a stereotyped supporting actor either. That makes me think he had to work hard or was talented enough to make a living in acting.

RIP.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

God I hated to read this. I first thought of his role as Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams; I like baseball movies and he was perfect.

This one stings a bit. Soon, if I don’t cross the bridge yet myself, all of them will be gone. Like my grandfather said some time before he passed, everyone I knew is gone. RIP Mr Liotta.

Same here

67 is young but yes he must have lived hard because he really aged over the past few years.

Rest In Peace Mr. Liotta. I enjoyed your work. As others have stated, passing at 67 is way too young.
