Honoring her costar. Jennifer Lopez is speaking out following the death of her former Shades of Blue castmate Ray Liotta.“Ray was my partner in crime on Shades of Blue … the first thing that comes to mind is he so was kind to my children.
Ray was the epitome of a tough guy who was all mushy on the inside … I guess that’s what made him such a compelling actor to watch,” the 52-year-old singer said. “The original Goodfella.
We shared some intense moments on set those three years! When I first heard he took the job on Shades of Blue I was thrilled, and the first time we walked on set to do our first scene together there was an electric spark and a mutual respect and we both knew this was going to be good.”Lopez added that she was “lucky” to work with Liotta.“Like all artists he was complicated, sincere, honest and so very emotional,” she wrote. “Like a raw nerve, he was so accessible and so in touch in his acting and I will always remember our time together fondly.
