Veteran actor Ray Liotta passed away Thursday at 67 🙏
Renowned actor Ray Liotta, who starred as “Shoeless” Joe Jackson in the classic baseball movieLiotta broke onto the scene in 1986 for his turn in Jonathan Demme’s action romantic-comedy, and later gave what became the most iconic performance of his career in 1990’s Martin Scorsese gangster film. But in between, his portrayal of Jackson immediately endeared himself to movie and baseball fans alike, and instantly joined the ranks of classic baseball movie characters of all time.
In the film, Jackson emerges from the cornfield of an Iowa farmer suffering a mid-life crisis and helps him repair his broken relationship with his late father. Liotta imbues Jackson with a softness and warmth, something the actor played off of in and other later roles in which he often played criminals or hardened law enforcement officers.
As the film industry sent condolences to honor the late actor, so too did members of the sports world. See some of their well-wishes below:
