This one stings.

The dude survived Joe Pesci, got lobotomized by Hannibal, and put up with Kevin Cosner's bad pitching, but went in his sleep.

Sad. He really shined more as he got older. I personally think "Killing them Softly" was one of his best performances.

RIP - I loved all his movies. I don’t know why but Charlie St. Cloud stands out to me, he didn’t have a ton of screen time but brought a lot of power when he did. Of course there are all his classics. Huge loss

That seems so sudden.  He wasn't that old.  I just rewatched the Hannibal Lector movies (just the three with Anthony Hopkins) about a week ago.  I've always enjoyed that trilogy.  I can't think of any movies I saw him in that I didn't enjoy.

I think it’s a great example of what he could bring to a role, even a small one. He was the best part of that movie. Dude sounded like a straight up devout Catholic. He played it perfectly.

Then don't watch Many Saints of Newark.  Although he wasn't the reason that movie was awful.

I enjoyed him in Narc as well; didn't see that one mentioned yet.

Ray Liotta always came across to me as a bit of a doofus. Like a highschool jock who's playing it cool but doesn't really understand simple things. And I don't mean any disrespect, because he was pretty fucking great at playing up that exact role and really excelled at playing super douchy characters. Looking at his more recent stuff, I absolutely loved him in Marriage Story:

 

For some reason his death actually hit me quite hard. I always enjoy seeing him in movies, and that age was way too early to go!
