Ray Liotta has been given a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, honouring his 50 years of dedication in TV and film. Speaking with Variety, Martin Scorsese ...

"That was when I knew he would be Henry Hill." He admitted, "I loved Ray’s work, we got along very well whenever we met and I knew we could work together. I knew that he could handle a role like the one he had in Something Wild, but here he would have to carry the whole picture.

Ray Liotta proved to the director of his greatest film that he was perfect for the part after a tense run-in with a security team.

After all, Henry Hill does some pretty unforgivable things as a gangster, but he stays in our good graces with his charm, wit, and willingness to cooperate both on and off-set. It was Liotta’s ability to be agreeable with security and the grace with which he handled the situation that would work perfectly in portraying Henry Hill. It was a brief run-in with Scorsese that could have gone south rather quickly, but Liotta’s ability to read the room and adjust accordingly made him the right guy for the job. Since Goodfellas, Liotta antagonized Tim Allen in the feature film Wild Hogs, voiced Moe’s father in season 29 of The Simpsons, and played an eccentric yet sympathetic gas station clerk in an episode of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. As we celebrate his posthumous Walk of Fame ceremony, we reflect on Liotta’s life and career.
