It was sad to see Ray Liotta, that magnificent actor, had died the other week. He was most famous for doing Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece about rough common or garden gangsters rather than those princes of iniquity in Coppola’s Godfather trilogy. Liotta’s performance in Goodfellas is about as good as film acting gets and he absolutely holds his own with Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci if he doesn’t in fact act them off the screen.
