185.0. "Come Back to the Field of Dreams, Ray Liotta, Ray Liotta" by DSSDEV::RUST () Wed May 12 1993 17:10

    OK, this is the official "Ray Liotta Rathole" topic. I'm moving all the
    "what's he been in, anyway" replies from the Vomitorium note. Have fun.

185.1Who is ...39527::HAMILTONWed May 12 1993 11:075
    I give up -- who is Ray Liotta?  Goodfellas was mentioned but I haven't
    seen it yet.  What else has he been in?
    
    Thanks
    
185.2Ray Liotta49438::BARTAKAndrea Bartak, Vienna, AustriaWed May 12 1993 11:143
    e.g.  "Unlawful Entry"  (with Kurt Russell). Liotta was the bad
    police-officer.

    That creepy plastic park-and-ride hero of "Singles".
185.46179::VALENZANo.Wed May 12 1993 12:273
    Ray Liotta was the villain in "Something Wild".

  Who was he in Goodfella's?

  As I remember, everyone in that movie was outstanding.

185.6not creepy at all in this movie5793::STARRin somebody else's sky....Wed May 12 1993 13:054
Ray Liotta was fantastic in 'Domenic and Eugene' (and he did NOT play a
villain!).

185.7A little creepy, but very good...3600::LAVEYDr. Heckyll & Mr. JiveWed May 12 1993 13:315
    Ray Liotta turned in (what seemed to me) an almost Otherworld-ly
    (appropriately so :-) ) performance in "Field of Dreams," as Shoeless
    Joe Jackson.

    re. George
    
    Ray Liotta played the main character in Goodfellas, whose name escapes
    me, the kid who always wanted to be a gangster, and then was.

    Actually, Liotta didn't play 'shoeless joe" he played the 
    deceased father of the main character (Kevin Costner).

No he didn't... he played shoeless joe... The father of Costner only
appeared at the end of the movie and I have no idea who he played him...

185.11Someone I didn't recognize played his dad, the catcherTNPUBS::NAZZAROBoston Shootout - June 18,19,20!Wed May 12 1993 15:294
    The previous note is mistaken.  Liotta did play Shoeless Joe,
    and not half as well as D.B. Sweeney did in "Eight Men Out".

    Scott, you are right. I really should have thought it out more.
    I own the video, seen it a dozen times. Even read the book.
    Why I thought he played the father, I don't know.

185.13John Cusack, Maybe!4009::RIZVIWed May 12 1993 16:014
    I think it was John Cusack that played shoeless Joe in Eight men out..
    But, I might be wrong..
    
    
185.14No, no, Ray-Ray32198::KRUEGERWed May 12 1993 16:564
    Liotta did not play in "Singles" ... maybe you're thinking of Matt
    Dillon?

    Ray co-starred with Keifer Sutherland in Article 99.  Not a bad film.

    What's this, Jon?  I never heard of it and it's not in my Maltin's.
    
185.19It was a TV series.QUARRY::reevesJon Reeves, ULTRIX compiler groupMon May 17 1993 13:082
Also starring Scatman Crothers, Hector Elizondo, and David Soul.  If
you really want to know more, I can look it up again in my TV reference book...
185.20DB Sweeney as Shoeless Joe25259::SKALINSKI_JFri May 28 1993 14:469
    RE:  .13
    
    John Cusack played the 3rd baseman, Buck [the last name escapes me]. 
    He was the one who tried for the rest of his life to clear his name.
    Buck Wheeler, maybe???
    
    DB Sweeney did play Shoeless Joe.

185.21What was that movie?16134::LYONS_SThu Aug 25 1994 13:2113
    
    
    What was the more recent picture he was in called.  The one set in the
    future where he is a prisoner and left on an island and there were two
    groups of prisoners.  I saw this movie too... and I can't remember the
    title!  He was kind of spooky in it, he had a deep concentration to
    him.
    
    Does anyone rember the name of the film?
    
    I can't wait to see him in Corina! Corina!  I can picture him playing a
    great, loveable dad.
