Skådespelaren Ray Liotta är död

Mest känd för sin roll i "Maffiabröder".

Under natten kom den tråkiga nyheten att skådespelaren Ray Liotta gått bort under torsdagen. Deadline var först med att rapportera den omtyckta skådisen gått bort i sömnen, medan han tillsammans med sin fästmö befann sig i Dominikanska Republiken där han spelade i en kommande film.

Liotta gjorde ett antal minnesvärda roller i sin karriär, men är kanske mest känd för sin porträttering av Henry Hill i Martin Scorseses “Maffiabröder”. Han medverkade senast i “Sopranos”-föregångaren “The Many Saints of Newark” där han spelade dubbla roller.

That's range.

I samband med beskedet har en rad kollegor och vänner uttryckt sin sorg via sociala medier. Däribland Viola Davis, Seth Rogen, Lorraine Bracco och Alessandro Nivola. Liotta blev 67 år gammal.

I am utterly shattered to hear this terrible news about my Ray.
I can be anywhere in the world & people will come up & tell me their favorite movie is Goodfellas. Then they always ask what was the best part of making that movie. My response has always been the same…Ray Liotta. pic.twitter.com/3gNjJFTAne

RIP Ray Liotta. I feel so lucky to have squared off against this legend in one of his final roles. The scenes we did together were among the all time highlights of my acting career. He was dangerous, unpredictable, hilarious, and generous with his praise for other actors.Too soon pic.twitter.com/FvsV2NNHkw

I can’t believe Ray Liotta has passed away. He was such a lovely, talented and hilarious person. Working with him was one of the great joys of my career and we made some of my favorite scenes I ever got to be in. A true legend of immense skill and grace.
