My Take
Ray Liotta belongs to my personal pantheon of actors who could change a film's temperature just by entering the frame. Goodfellas gave him the role of a lifetime, that laugh and those eyes flickering between charm and menace, yet Field of Dreams proved he could play pure tenderness too. Hollywood never quite knew what to do with that range, so he spent decades elevating material that did not deserve him. That his lone Emmy came as a guest actor says everything: he was the visitor who stole the show. His death in 2022, mid-renaissance, still feels like an unfinished sentence in American cinema.
