    Underrated but great actor! hide show

    Talented and great but underrated as well as despite Smith flopping, hopefully he will land on another good show and that really he is good playing bad guys. With the rare good guy role of movies like Corrina, Corrina, and Field of Dreams. Very handsome and ages really well like fine wine if you ask me.

    Awesome, badass actor who plays in great stuff like Copland, Narc, Vice City (the videogame), Blow and of course Goodfellas. Really one of my favourites.

    Ray Liotta is a true actor. You really believe that he got into acting because he loves it for what it is. You'll never see him in any tabloids and you won't hear any gossip about him. In his roles, you sense more realism than many other actor's who are considered more talented than he. Of all of his roles in all of his movies, my favorite has to be "Goodfellas."

    What a great actor! hide show

    I can't wait to see Ray Liotta's new series in the fall! I hope it does well and doesn't get cancelled after four episodes, like so many shows do. Hopefully, the fact that Ray Liotta is in it will give it some star power and carry it through the ratings.

    I've loved Ray Liotta since I first saw him in his role in the movie Dominic And Eugene with Tom Hulce. It was such a wonderful movie and Ray was superb in it as the caring brother who is over-worked looking after his mentally deficient brother and trying to become a doctor at the same time. He gave a powerful performance there. He was also wonderful in bringing the baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson to life in the movie Field Of Dreams, one of my all-time favourite movies!

    Ray has proven himself to be a very diverse actor who can take on all kinds of roles; he can be the good guy or the bad guy, and that, in my opinion is the sign of a good actor.
