Henry Hill was portrayed so brilliantly by Liotta. But for my generation more importantly, he was the unforgettable voice of Tommy Vercetti in GTA Vice City. Rest in Peace, Ray. What a brilliant, underrated actor. Condolences to his family.
Henry Hill wasn't really much like what you see in the movie though. I'd hear him doing interviews on howard stern. Dude was a gopher and a drunk who was around guys in the life.
Also mate, you've gone straight into the 'Underrated' tag which appears on every video comment section about anyone or anything. He wasn't underrated in the slightest and calling him that is quite insulting to be fair.
How does he portray Henry hill brilliantly if Henry hill was nothing like the movie character? Michael even testifies this on another video…you like Liotta’s performance but the persona nor lifestyle was Henry hill
I read that he met his biological parents in his 40s and was actually surprised that they weren't Italian-American like his adoptive parents. Still, you will always think of him as a brilliant Italian-American actor. May he R.I.P.
He used to come into my work when I was a teenager. I didn’t know who he was initially until I found out why a woman had literally screamed and nearly fainted after seeing him lololol. He was always kind and respectful. He made an impression at that place that was full of rude entitled rich people. RIP
Ray actually did locate his biological mom later in life. From her he learned he was of Scottish ancestry. This is according to Wikipedia. Fortunately, he was raised by his adopted parents in Union, New Jersey; and by all accounts they were good people and provided him a good upbringing.
I rewatched Goodfellas the same night I heard he passed. What an outstanding performance he truly embodies the character of Henry Hill that was written for goodfellas and stands out among a cast of heavy hitters including Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro
I'm watching Turbulence now. I'm glad Mr. Franzese suggested it. So far so good! I also was one of many that rewatched Goodfellas in his honor last week. 😢
You weren't alone my friends, great movie, great acting. For some reason Ray's passing really affected me. I'm watching Goodfellas with tears in my eyes. GOD BLESS TO ALL, HUG YOUR LOVED ONES, LIFE IS SHORT
He really looked into his genealogy and found his real mother only to realize that she let him be adopted to a better life. Love you Michael! Glad to see you sharing, giving and thriving.
She actually abandoned him, and when he reached out to her after his adoptive mother died during the film of good fellas he was disappointed, after meeting her he said ,thank god that I was adopted...
Jeremy Irons won for that rubbish Reversal of Fortune. If Costner won that year, I wouldn't have been mad about it. But truthfully, I always felt Ray should've won.
@@michaelfranzese you do look and sound healthy, both physically and mentally...I'm 44 and feel much older than I did when I was 24. The fact that you can say at age 71 you don't feel any older than you did 30 years ago both offends and impresses me lol 😉😊👍💙 (ill have to take better care of myself between now and 71...)
A tribute to Ray Liotta, just what all us mob movie fans were waiting for. Unfortunately I can't watch now, Mike but will when I get the time. Mr. Liotta was a legend. RIP.
Love the fact that Ray played Henry better then Henry himself, I get that as after I saw interviews of the real Henry Hill I was a little underwhelmed. Ray really made his legacy larger than life. It was similar to Frank Lucas after Denzel played him.
Yea that's an understatement, ray Liotta made henry hill look like the coolest guy ever lol and then you go and watch that episode of Howard stern w the real henry hill......
Yes,,, Mike said he was basically a lost soul,, hopelessly addicted to drugs. Was also a bad alcoholic as he showed up on Howard Stern Show drunk all the time...
I met him in 96 in Maryland at a Giant…I was in line and looked up and was like WHOA…Ray Liotta. I didn’t say anything, didn’t want to make him uncomfortable etc…I quietly told him how much of a fan I was and he thanked me for not blowing his spot up…he offered to sign something, but I told him a handshake would mean more to me., and he seemed to like that….said he was in the area for an anti smoking campaign thing….nobody else recognized him. My brother and I grew up watching Goodfellas CONSTANTLY…absolutely class act and gentlemen.
Ray Liotta was great in everything he was in. He was outstanding in Narc, and especially outstanding in the most underrated film of all time in my opinion, "COPLAND." Copland had almost every solid actor from DeNiro, to Liotta, Keitel, Robert Patrick, Stallone was outstanding. Even Tony Sirico and Frank Vincent had small roles in that film.
I agree, Copland was a terrific movie that truly showcased how good Stallone is as an actor, but Liotta was such a great low key role. I like it even better than his performance in Goodfellas.
Most actors today don’t possess the ability to transfer emotion through screen like Ray Liotta could,an immensely talented human being,may he Rest In Peace 🙏🏼❤️
Yup. Some actors are great at being loud, rambunctious or colorful etc, while others are far more measured and bring that intensity thru other means. Ray had those ridiculously intense eyes. Mix that with his voice and it just worked in so many of his roles.
I still slice extra thin garlic and onions when I put it into my pizza sauce that's if I'm using the red sauce cuz sometimes I use the white garlic sauce or pesto but I still use lots of garlic and onions and I slice a whole bunch of it like they did in that movie, lolol
@@mackychloe Yes !! In the roll he played a loving and caring father, which was not even close to what he portrayed in the past . A very versatile actor. That's what made him so good at his craft. We will miss him !!!
Happy belated birthday, Mr Franzese...as a former outlaw myself, I can understand why you'd think you'd never see 71...I never thought I'd live to see 30, but I'll be turning 53 this year...hope to be getting you book soon, I'm an alcoholic, so I can't try your wine, but I may still get a bottle as a collector's item...loved Ray, his performance in Goodfellas is absolutely iconic, but he gave his all in every movie, not just the gangster stuff, though I do love that genre...again, happy 71st, with much admiration & respect...
This is just heartbreaking, Ray was one of my favourite actors. From Goodfellas, Revolver and the The Many Saints of Newark. Just incredible in all his performances. Rest in peace Ray Liotta, May you rest peacefully in the kingdom of God amongst his wonderful angels. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. 🙏
I don’t know why, Mr. Franzese, but the words you say - most of the time - just sink in better than any other time in my life that I’ve heard the same words from other people. Love to hear you talk about your experiences… Thank you, sir.
Such an iconic actor. Remember watching goodfellas for the first time whilst my mother was out she didn’t approve at the time of the film but what a performance! Sometimes you have to be blessed for what you’ve lived in your life and for the loved ones around you. Thought I wouldn’t be here today a few years back and it gives you such a new perspective on live and Ive thanked god everyday since
Michael I just want to say is I love what you’re doing. Keep doing it! I enjoy the story’s because the story you tell are true I learn something new everything day when I watch your TH-cam Channel. R.I.P Ray Liotta
I used to say that if my life ever turned into a movie, I’d want Ray to be the narrator! His voice was so iconic, throaty, and manly. He was amazing in Corrina, Corrina… that was the first Ray Liotta movie I saw when I was four or five years old. He was amazing in Goodfellas… amazing in Blow. Amazing in Shades of Blue. He’ll be missed! Gone too soon.
"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." He did that line better than the one he did off the coffee table later in the movie. Rest in peace Ray Liotta.
Goodfellas is my favourite and is the GREATEST movie of all time and Ray Liotta was absolutely amazing in it. He was a man of pure class, poise, prestige, and grace. We will miss you so very much Mr. Liotta, Sir. I can imagine Ray saying, “Now take me to Heaven”
How could you forget about him playing in “Blow”!!!! Such a great movie and he really played a good role model for the main character (Johnny Depp) as his father. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must watch film
Didn't know he was 67. Btw, he also played in Hannibal. My dad said the same thing regarding cemeteries. 'I've never had a problem from a dead person. It's the living I'm worried about.'
So happy you did this Michael. Much respect. As great as Scorsese was for bringing Goodfellas to the screen, Ray really made that movie--especially with his narration.
Thank you Michael , this is what we all needed !! May he rest in peace and just be suave as he ll always be !! One of the greatest actors to us in one of the best movies ever made !! Ray !! You rock and the upcoming generations will also be witness to your charm
Belated birthday wishes Michael, I'll be 70 in December. You were saying how you want to be an encouragement to us all, well it is thanks to you and your testimony that brought me back to rededicate my life to the Lord. I live in the UK and it was great seeing you on UK TV. God Bless you and your family, I love you brother. Proverbs 3: 5,6
Thank you for sharing some wonderful personal things with us about Ray Lolita. I have heard from his co-workers who worked with him on Goodfellas and they were all very saddened by Ray's sudden death and they had nothing but wonderful, loving things to say about him ❤️.
RIP Ray... Loved all your work, many of the films I'd forgotten about, Copland, Narc, Field of dreams.. You were an exceptional actor with so much talent.. 🙏🏻👍🏻🙂❤️
I always recognize Ray's voice because of GTA vice city, he did the voice of Tommy Vercetti. He did great, many times for games actors don't try at all. He was one of the best things to happen to that franchise in my book.
Unfortunately he complained many times during his voice recordings for that game. Overall though, in his later years, he stated he did enjoy making it. Such a shame he wasn’t able to make peace with Rockstar though.
Lovely tribute to Ray. And excited to see your chat with Chazz. Love him and forever will have the "Door Test" in my head in his voice. God bless, sir.
Ya know, This was a kind, sincere moment for Mr. F. to have tributed to Mr. Liotta. I have to say that, every video of Mr. F's is a must see. However, the ending of every one of Mr. F's videos...right to the heart. I dunno why anyone wouldn't have time to watch any video at length, but...if you can't, scroll to the end of his videos. Priceless, heart-felt 'finishing' comments from him that we all need to hear. Thank you Mr. F.
I have been following you since you came to the Rock Church in Point Loma. I have every book of yours and just ordered Mafia Democracy. God bless you Michael 🙏🏽💙🙏🏽
@Michael Franzese, have been watching your videos here in the UK since the start of lockdown and everyone has not only gripped me but made me fascinated by the life you have lived and history that you have helped create! Keep doing your thing young man, looking forward to your visit in July, hope to see you soon. Till then, stay safe my good friend👍🏼
RIP Ray you will be sadly missed ,because sometimes I wonder about you,you may fold under questioning Happy belated Michael you have a special name that has a powerful meaning. The Arch Angel
Rest in Peace Ray Liotta. You were the best and you will be missed by all. 💔🕊🌈🙏🙏🙏🌈🕊😥 Thank you for doing this tribute to Ray, Michael. Ray was special and one of a kind.
Another great video Michael. I can't ever remember Ray having a bad performance, even in a low rated movie. His presence always stood out. Definitely one of the last iconic actors of our time.
Such a great and so underrated actor and human being! I really love his movies and acting! Rest in peace Ray! And to you Michael,greetings from far Croatia!
Hi Michael, here in the UK The Guardian newspaper reported that Ray Liotta was adopted by his parents Mary and Alfred Liotta at age 6 months and although he believed he was of Italian descent, at the age of 40 he met with his biological mother who told him he was actually of Scottish descent. You gave him a warm and fitting tribute. I'm Scots/ Italian myself and was thrilled to learn Ray's ancestry.
I watched Goodfellas this past weekend and Ray Liotta was an amazing actor.He will be missed and love hearing your thoughts on his career. Happy belated birthday Michael God Bless and Salute.
Michael you are a true and wonderful person.Youve gone through many struggles in your life and you are still a beacon of light and hope for many of us including myself.Im going through rough tines these days and whenever I watch you just speak the truth and faith in doing the right thing encourages me to keep plugging along and I know things can and will get better..God bless you for just being a righteous man...
I was shocked when I heard of his passing! Too soon in my eyes! I just saw this past weekend the movie goodfellas, they put his name in the end of the movie as a tribute.🙏Rip Ray Liotta! His definitely will be missed by us fans! Thanks for sharing your thoughts Michael! Ohh by the way happy birthday!🎂🎁🎈🎉🎊🍻🥂👌😎👍god bless and be safe!🙏
Well done tribute Mr. Franzese…. I knew you would come thru for sure in celebration of Mr. Liotta awesome life and career. He sure will be missed, nobody says Karen better than him. RIP 🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹
I didn't find out Ray passed until the night before last and I was in absolute shock. I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't another internet hoax!!! I can't believe it. He was an amazing actor! I loved him in Goodfellas! Him and Robert De Nero are the reasons I got into gangster/mob/mafia shows and movies!
Good for you for this, Ray Liotta was an amazing actor! R.I.P. Ray! Condolences to your family. Michael, I expected nothing less than this classy goodbye to a famed actor of your genre.
I have watched goodfellas at least 20 times over the years, my favorite film. So many great lines, I'm sure he's PARKING CADILLACS somewhere in heaven.
Even though I didn’t like Goodfellas as much as other movies due to some of its romanticized elements. I have to admit it was brilliantly acted and Ray Liotta was an exceptional actor. Cheers to Ray everyone!
Ray Liotta was an amazing actor. He had eyes to die for. He could look straight thru you.
Yes so true
Yes it was his eyes coupled with beautiful head of black hair
Boy, that is rare
you are so right i forgot about his eyes
Henry Hill was portrayed so brilliantly by Liotta. But for my generation more importantly, he was the unforgettable voice of Tommy Vercetti in GTA Vice City. Rest in Peace, Ray. What a brilliant, underrated actor. Condolences to his family.
Let's just say Ray Liotta portrayed Henry Hills book so brilliantly R.I.E.P.
Henry Hill wasn't really much like what you see in the movie though. I'd hear him doing interviews on howard stern. Dude was a gopher and a drunk who was around guys in the life.

Wow that’s mad rip
Love these episodes. I'm an adopted kid and I can say, your father is your father if he raises you right,blood or not. God bless you all.
Ray actually did meet his birth mother and found out he’s Scottish.
Also he was great in the movie “Blow”
Clam it bill I’ll talk to my boy as long as I want to
Can't believe he's gone, it was such a surprise. Goodfellas will always be my favorite movie, Ray killed it as Henry.
I still can’t believe he’s gone. He was amazing in everything
Thank you very much for acknowledging Mr. Ray Liotta. Love your channel, sir!
@@michaelfranzese 🙏🏽🙏🏽
He was the reason I got into mob movies. When I heard he passed I was in shock and still cant believe it. R.I.P. 🙏
Really was great loved em he wasnt the most italian looking guy but a slick younger generation guy caught up on the coke on goodfellas too lmo
@@vagoeart1262 He wasn't actually of Italian ancestry. He was adopted and his adoptive father just happened to be Italian, hence the last name.
Probably the jab rip
Same here he was the first I really loved watching in mob movies ever movie he played in was well done
He used to come into my work when I was a teenager. I didn’t know who he was initially until I found out why a woman had literally screamed and nearly fainted after seeing him lololol. He was always kind and respectful. He made an impression at that place that was full of rude entitled rich people. RIP
What was ur job
Ray actually did locate his biological mom later in life. From her he learned he was of Scottish ancestry. This is according to Wikipedia.
Fortunately, he was raised by his adopted parents in Union, New Jersey; and by all accounts they were good people and provided him a good upbringing.
What do you mean fortunately? Is there something wrong with Scottish ancestry all of a sudden??
@@snelgrave101think he just means it was fortunate he was raised by good parents
@@BlackedOutDreams hmmmm juries out
I rewatched Goodfellas the same night I heard he passed. What an outstanding performance he truly embodies the character of Henry Hill that was written for goodfellas and stands out among a cast of heavy hitters including Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro
Same here. And blow the next day. He didn't have the biggest part in that but he was still in it.
I watched Goodfellas on my DVD the night I heard Ray passed.
I'm watching Turbulence now. I'm glad Mr. Franzese suggested it. So far so good! I also was one of many that rewatched Goodfellas in his honor last week. 😢
@@michaelfranzese Did you remember Ray playing Roy DeMeo in “The Iceman”? He rarely raised his voice, very bone-chilling.

Ray should have won the academy award for goodfellas.
Jeremy Irons won for that rubbish Reversal of Fortune. If Costner won that year, I wouldn't have been mad about it. But truthfully, I always felt Ray should've won.
Unlawful Entry was probably my favorite Ray Liotta movie! So glad that you mentioned it :) He played the manipulative bad guy character to perfection.
Ray was a force of nature! As good as any actor out there. Didn’t always get the parts he deserved. He was a real one.
Good sir, for someone who just turned 71 you look like you’re still in your 40's.
R.I.P Ray Liotta

Love the fact that Ray played Henry better then Henry himself, I get that as after I saw interviews of the real Henry Hill I was a little underwhelmed. Ray really made his legacy larger than life. It was similar to Frank Lucas after Denzel played him.

Yup. Some actors are great at being loud, rambunctious or colorful etc, while others are far more measured and bring that intensity thru other means. Ray had those ridiculously intense eyes. Mix that with his voice and it just worked in so many of his roles.
Have you seen revolver?
I still slice extra thin garlic and onions when I put it into my pizza sauce that's if I'm using the red sauce cuz sometimes I use the white garlic sauce or pesto but I still use lots of garlic and onions and I slice a whole bunch of it like they did in that movie, lolol

@NatureLover some people are better spellers some are better fighters. All good tho.
I am just devastated, so heartbroken, just devastated, no words can explain my emotions,
RIP Ray, you will be truly missed
Me too. I was shocked and so sad.
This is just heartbreaking, Ray was one of my favourite actors. From Goodfellas, Revolver and the The Many Saints of Newark. Just incredible in all his performances. Rest in peace Ray Liotta, May you rest peacefully in the kingdom of God amongst his wonderful angels. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. 🙏
Nice guy, great actor, great film roles. It came out of nowhere. Rest in peace, Ray!
Ray Liotta was a goat. He knew how to entertain, and was very believable in any character he portrayed.
Super cool you highlighting his career.

Loved Ray in Field of Dreams
Yep
💯 % 👍👍
I used to say that if my life ever turned into a movie, I’d want Ray to be the narrator! His voice was so iconic, throaty, and manly.
He was amazing in Corrina, Corrina… that was the first Ray Liotta movie I saw when I was four or five years old. He was amazing in Goodfellas… amazing in Blow. Amazing in Shades of Blue.
He’ll be missed! Gone too soon.
"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." He did that line better than the one he did off the coffee table later in the movie. Rest in peace Ray Liotta.
That line is up there with “I believe in America” from The Godfather. Two of my favorite films.
Do I amuse you?
Ray Liotta was a great actor. Every single role he had he nailed it.
Goodfellas is my favourite and is the GREATEST movie of all time and Ray Liotta was absolutely amazing in it. He was a man of pure class, poise, prestige, and grace. We will miss you so very much Mr. Liotta, Sir.
I can imagine Ray saying,
“Now take me to Heaven”
Truly shocked when Ray passed, absolute legend, rest easy Ray 🙏
How could you forget about him playing in “Blow”!!!! Such a great movie and he really played a good role model for the main character (Johnny Depp) as his father. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must watch film
I almost forget about that role.
"money isn't real George.."
Gonna have to rewatch Blow. I didn't he was in that.
Bro I loved that role he played. He accepted his son all thru the years of ups and downs he always had his back. Great role
Facts! Blow,Rat Pack & CopLand
Didn't know he was 67. Btw, he also played in Hannibal.
My dad said the same thing regarding cemeteries. 'I've never had a problem from a dead person. It's the living I'm worried about.'
Mr Liotta was a versatile actor...played many roles in his career. One of my favorites.
Merry Christmas, Michael. Henry Hill loved you so much. He mentioned this in many interviews. Thank you, Michael, for your kind heart.
Went way to soon. RIP Ray Thanks for another upload Micheal. ❤️
So happy you did this Michael. Much respect. As great as Scorsese was for bringing Goodfellas to the screen, Ray really made that movie--especially with his narration.
I wonder how many audiobooks Ray Liotta did. The fact he didn’t do more narration is surprising. Then again, all I could hear is his Henry hill.
Thank you Michael , this is what we all needed !! May he rest in peace and just be suave as he ll always be !! One of the greatest actors to us in one of the best movies ever made !! Ray !! You rock and the upcoming generations will also be witness to your charm
Shoutout to you Michael for being such a great human being and teaching us about past present and future challenges that occur in every day life 💯🙏🏾

Oh boy, here we go...tears gonna come. From you is the only way I wanna hear about Mr. Liotta.
A great actor, awesome as well in Unlawful Entry playing the sinister cop.
I love that movie, he was so amazing as a villain
such an underrated movie and performance. Liotta was brilliant...
He was a total bastard in that movie... definitely one of the greats.

Thank you for doing this tribute to Ray, Michael. Ray was special and one of a kind.
Another great video Michael. I can't ever remember Ray having a bad performance, even in a low rated movie. His presence always stood out. Definitely one of the last iconic actors of our time.
Ray is iconic actor his roles Are fantastic Goodfellows can’t beat that film RIP 🕊

Legend May he Rest in Peace
Such a great and so underrated actor and human being! I really love his movies and acting! Rest in peace Ray! And to you Michael,greetings from far Croatia!
He has over 60 movies to his credit
No Escape (1994) is another good Liotta film. Trailer. th-cam.com/video/uAuAlxsnPJg/w-d-xo.html
I would not have said underrated?
One of my favorite actors Ray was a brilliant actor. Condolences to Ray's Family for your loss he will be missed.
Hi Michael, here in the UK The Guardian newspaper reported that Ray Liotta was adopted by his parents Mary and Alfred Liotta at age 6 months and although he believed he was of Italian descent, at the age of 40 he met with his biological mother who told him he was actually of Scottish descent. You gave him a warm and fitting tribute. I'm Scots/ Italian myself and was thrilled to learn Ray's ancestry.
Ray was legendary in Union, NJ. I'm sad to see him pass so soon.
Rest in peace Ray Liotta, he was an absolutely fantastic actor! And happy birthday Michael! 🇮🇹
I watched Goodfellas this past weekend and Ray Liotta was an amazing actor.He will be missed and love hearing your thoughts on his career.
Happy belated birthday Michael God Bless and Salute.
Ray was believable in every role. Love this! Thank you.
Michael you are a true and wonderful person.Youve gone through many struggles in your life and you are still a beacon of light and hope for many of us including myself.Im going through rough tines these days and whenever I watch you just speak the truth and faith in doing the right thing encourages me to keep plugging along and I know things can and will get better..God bless you for just being a righteous man...
Ray sort of bookended my younger years, from goodfellas to GTA. His performance in goodfellas was next level good
“A modern day Goodfella, I’m Ray Liotta” Wale 🔥 🙏🏽
Ray Liotta is definitely missed! Loved him in Goodfellas!
I was shocked when I heard of his passing! Too soon in my eyes! I just saw this past weekend the movie goodfellas, they put his name in the end of the movie as a tribute.🙏Rip Ray Liotta! His definitely will be missed by us fans! Thanks for sharing your thoughts Michael! Ohh by the way happy birthday!🎂🎁🎈🎉🎊🍻🥂👌😎👍god bless and be safe!🙏
Well done tribute Mr. Franzese…. I knew you would come thru for sure in celebration of Mr. Liotta awesome life and career. He sure will be missed, nobody says Karen better than him. RIP 🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹
Still can't believe you were mentioned in Goodfellas. RiP Ray.
I didn't find out Ray passed until the night before last and I was in absolute shock. I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't another internet hoax!!! I can't believe it. He was an amazing actor! I loved him in Goodfellas! Him and Robert De Nero are the reasons I got into gangster/mob/mafia shows and movies!
I watch Goodfellas @ least once a year. Liotta's piercing blue eyes & quiet intensity bring the master class acting to life.
Thank you for the tribute. He was a very talented artist and will be missed. Crazy how this world works.
Good for you for this, Ray Liotta was an amazing actor! R.I.P. Ray! Condolences to your family. Michael, I expected nothing less than this classy goodbye to a famed actor of your genre.
Rest In Peace Ray, gone too soon, I will never forget you!❤️🔥✨
@@michaelfranzese Blessing to You Michael❤️
🙏🙏🙏R.I.P. One Hell of an Old School Actor.
Amen.
He was great to his fans. Met him so many times..
Honestly, losing Scott Hall and Ray Liotta for me personally, hurt. My favorite wrestler and one of my top 5 actors.
Definitely...
Thanks for putting this tribute up ...RIP Ray 😢
I have watched goodfellas at least 20 times over the years, my favorite film. So many great lines, I'm sure he's PARKING CADILLACS somewhere in heaven.
Loved him in Field of Dreams
Even though I didn’t like Goodfellas as much as other movies due to some of its romanticized elements. I have to admit it was brilliantly acted and Ray Liotta was an exceptional actor.
Cheers to Ray everyone!
Thanks for this tribute to Ray- Goodfellas and Field of Dreams are 2 of my favorite movies and Ray Liotta really made those films pop.
