Over the past 40 years in Hollywood, one of the greatest character actors has to be the legendary Ray Liotta. After the news of his death, a stroll through his most memorable performances is not only warranted but necessary, to remind us of what the world has lost. Leaving behind a legacy of extraordinary movies, these are some of his greatest films ever.

Goodfellas (1990)

Liotta leads a testosterone-filled cast that includes Oscar-winners Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. His loud laughter will echo throughout the halls of screen history and remains the greatest cinematic gift from his time here on Earth.
