"The Sopranos" creator David Chase, who also worked with Liotta on"The Many Saints of Newark," issued his own statement on Thursday, which commented on the actor's"warm and humorous" persona. In full the statement read: "This is a massive, unexpected shock. I have been an admirer of Ray's work since I saw him in 'Something Wild,' a movie he wrenched by the tail. I was so glad he worked on 'The Many Saints of Newark.' I believed strongly in my heart that he could play that double role. He created two distinctly separate characters and each performance was phenomenal. Ray was also a very warm and humorous person. A really superior actor. We all felt we lucked out having him on that movie.
Kevin Costner, who appeared alongside the actor in"Field of Dreams," shared a short clip from the film along with some beautiful words. Devastated to hear the news of Ray Liotta’s passing. While he leaves an incredible legacy, he’ll always be “Shoeless Joe Jackson” in my heart. What happened that moment in the film was real. God gave us that stunt. Now God has Ray.
