Wasn’t he the guy that had a piece of his brain cutout by Hannibal Lecter and then fed to him for dinner?

I know he used to be a heavy smoker, but I assumed he quit because he was making those anti-smoking commercials a few years back.

That’s too bad. So young, at 67. He was a good actor.

I always liked Liotta. He played an excellent dirtbag. He was absolutely great in Goodfellas.
RIP

No cause of death listed, so I’ll go with complications from the vaxx until I see evidence suggesting otherwise.

I hear ya, I just turned 68. I can't check out now, I'm helping support my son and his family. His daughter has been in NICU since she was born last October. Life has been on hold for them.

Now that she's older, I've made it my mission to read to her regularly, with a goal of at least 6 days a week. Last night was our first session, and the nurse told me the impact it had on her: within the first two minutes, her heart rate went from 155 to 115. Poor baby needed a break, she's been through so much.

It's therapeutic for me, too. Reminds me that my troubles do not compare to her struggles.

Back on topic, he was great as Shoeless Joe.

There were 9 American tourists who died in their sleep in the Dominican Republic in 2019.

I hope Liotta didn't succumb to the same condition that was prevalent back then.

Same here.

Costner: "Don't we need a catcher."

Ray (as Shoeless Joe): "Not if you get it over the plate, we don't."

One of my favorite movie moments.
