Ray Liotta

The filmography of the famous American actor Ray Liotta has more than a hundred different projects. The artist, in whose cinematic piggy bank every second picture is cult, most often starred in action films, detective stories and psychological thrillers. Ray Liotta was born on December 18, 1954 in the city of Newark, located in the northeastern United States.

Due to deplorable material well-being, the biological parents abandoned Ray immediately after his birth. Six months later, the future actor, together with the girl Linda, was accepted by a family of Italians who had no financial problems. The artist's stepmother was named Mary. The woman worked as an ordinary clerk. Stepfather Alfred was the owner of a small parts store. It is known that both parents actively participated in the political life of the city, but did not achieve success in this field.

According to the recollections of the master of reincarnation, in his childhood he did not need anything. Mary and Alfred indulged the wishes of their adopted children, surrounding them with care and love. In his teens, Liotta was fond of athletics and even thought about how to connect his life with sports. His outlook on the future changed after a visit to the University of Miami, which Ray entered after graduating from high school in 1973.

The young man chose the department of dramatic art. Most of the time, he improved his acting skills and dreamed of becoming an actor. As a student, Liotta made his debut at the Jerry Hermann University Theater.

Becoming a graduate, Ray moved to New York. In the largest city in the United States, an ambitious young man got his first role in the TV series Underworld (1978). In the film directed by Don Scardino, John Whitesell, Linda Atkinson, and Barnett Kellman, Ray starred for three years.

The actor's cinematic debut was the role of Pia Zadora in the cult film Lonely Lady. In 1987, the actor was first nominated for a Golden Globe for his role as Ray Sinclair in Jonathan Demme's The Wild Thing. In this tape, celebrities such as Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith were partners of the novice actor.

In 1988, in the film "Dominic and Eugene", Ray tried on the image of a doctor forced to take care of his mentally retarded brother, and a year later, in the comedy "Field of Wonders" with Kevin Costner in the title role, he reincarnated as the legendary American baseball player - Barefoot Joe.

The whole world started talking about Ray when in 1990 the crime drama Nicefellas by acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese was released. In the film, which tells the story of an aspiring gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), in addition to Ray, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci starred. The cult tape has become an Oscar winner six times.

The film was a resounding success, competing even with the third installment of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, released in the same year. The Goodfellas set the bar high for dozens of gangster films that followed, and Liotta became one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors in the blink of an eye.

Two years later, Ray replenished his filmography with the role of mentally unstable law enforcement officer Pete Davis (film "Intrusion"), and in 1994 he played the future captain Joe Robbins who escaped from prison (film "Escape is Impossible").

The late 90s - early 2000s were marked by the release of the paintings "Unforgettable", "Turbulence", "Policemen", "Phoenix", "Rat Pack", "Forever Mine" and "Pilgrim". September 2000 saw the premiere of Peter O'Fallon's touching drama Whisper of Angels, in which Liotta played a widower who had completely forgotten about his 12-year-old son.

For his role in Joe Carnahan's The Drug Lord (2002), Ray gained 20 kg and put on small heels. The events in the film cover a week-long investigation into the murder of police officer Michael Calwess (Alan Van Sprang), who infiltrated the drug trade in Detroit. The case is entrusted to Henry Oak (Ray Liotta) - an old hardened cop, who is given as a partner to the not very good detective Nick Talles (Jason Patrick).

In 2001, Ridley Scott's crime thriller "Hannibal" was released on the big screens. The plot of the sequel to the 1991 film "The Silence of the Lambs" was based on the novel of the same name by the writer Thomas Harris. Ray played the inspector of the Department of Justice Paul Krendler. In the drama Cocaine, released the same year, Liotta played Fred Jung, the father of Johnny Depp's character, who, in the film, reincarnated as one of the most famous drug dealers in human history.

In the psychological thriller of 2003 "Identity", the actor tried on the image of a policeman who was trapped. In 2005, the master of transformations appeared in the acclaimed television series Ambulance. For his role as incurable patient Charlie Metcalfe, Ray won an Emmy.

In the same year, the premiere of Guy Ritchie's cult film "Revolver" took place. In the drama, in which, in addition to Liotta, Mark Strong and Jason Statham starred, Ray got the role of the crime boss Dorothy Mack.

In 2006, the actor appeared in the crime thriller "Smokin 'Aces". Then Ryan Reynolds, Andy Garcia and Jeremy Piven became his colleagues on the set. The film, based on the story of the life of a former criminal who dared to testify against his boss in court, fully paid for itself at the worldwide box office.

It is worth noting that in the actor's cinematic piggy bank there are also comedic roles: in 2007 Liotta tried on the image of a fearless biker in the film "Real Boars", in 2009 he joined Seth Rogen in the film "Kinda Cool Guard", and a year later he starred in the touching family film The Snowmen. In the period from 2012 to 2014, the artist starred in the films Ice, Sin City - 2. A Woman to Kill For, The Pursuit, New York Dragons and Kill the Messenger.

In September 2015, the world premiere of the psychological thriller Come With Me took place. Daniel Alfredson's film focuses on the life story of a girl named Lillian (Julia Styles). Returning to her native land, the young lady becomes a victim of sexual harassment of a local resident Richard Blackway (Ray Liotta). Realizing that the law enforcement agencies are covering up the criminal in every possible way, the girl, in order to understand what is happening in the district, together with her assistant (Anthony Hopkins), begins her own investigation.

In 2016, Ray reincarnated as Lieutenant Matt Wozniak, one of the main characters in the Shades of Blue series. In addition to Liotta, the film directed by Barry Levinson, Millicent Shelton, Dan Lerner, David Boyd and Paul McCrane starred singer Jennifer Lopez and actors Drea de Matteo and Warren Cole.

Despite the fact that Ray was married and has a child, there is very little information on the Web regarding his personal life. It is known that the artist from 1982 to 1983 met with Farrah Fawcett's stunt double, Heidi Von Balts, and also had a short affair with Katherine Hickland.

In 1997, the master of disguise took the actress Michelle Grace as his wife. According to one version, the young people met at a baseball game. The second theory is that the lovers met on the set of the movie Rat Pack, in which Liotta played Frank Sinatra. A year after the wedding, the wife gave her husband a daughter. The happy parents named the girl Carsen. The union, which had existed for seven years, fell apart in 2004. It is noteworthy that not a single print publication in Europe wrote about the reasons for the divorce.

In the absence of amorous hobbies, Ray, like many actors, made a number of plastic surgeries in pursuit of youth. So, the appearance of a Hollywood star at the Saturday evening of the SAG Awards in 2016 caused a wave of indignation among his fans: after another injection course of Botox, the actor's face changed a lot. There were noticeably fewer wrinkles, but the nasolabial folds and the browbone looked extremely unnatural. After the hype on social networks, the actor slowed down, deciding to age beautifully.

It is known that in 2017 Liotta will star in the films "EAS: Esquadrao Antissequestro", "Into the americas" and "Cruel Talent". For the first two films, there is no information about the release date, cast and plot.

Now in preparation for filming, director Matthew Michael Carnahan's film Cruel Talent will immerse the viewer in the underworld of Chicago, in which three friends decide to build their own criminal empire, having entered an unequal battle with the city's governing mafiosi for many years. In addition to Ray, the drama will feature actors Garrett Hedlund, Toby Kebbell, Margot Robbie, Reese Ahmed and Linda Emond.

Also in 2018, the third season of Shades of Blue is scheduled to be released. Fans will once again see Ray as the corrupt commander of the 64th Department's Street Crime Unit, Matt Wozniak. Crime drama production company EGTV Productions has announced that the new part of the show will have ten 40-minute episodes.

Despite his busy work schedule, the master of transformation does not forget about the fans. On Instagram and Facebook, the leading actor in the film Revolver regularly uploads photographs from his personal archive and video clips of working moments.

It is worth noting that social media is not the only resource that tells fans about the latest news from Liotta's life. On Internet portals and in print publications, materials related to the creative biography of the Hollywood star are also often published.
