"I remember feeling that I wanted to work with him again at this point in his life, to explore the gravity in his presence, so different from the young, sprightly actor he was when I met him."  Ray Liotta and Martin Scorsese attend the screening of "Goodfellas" on September 17, 1990, at Mann Bruin Theater in Westwood, California.  (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) He added: "I wish I’d had the chance to see him just once more, too — to tell him just how much the work we did together meant to me.

But maybe he knew that. I hope so." During his op-ed, Scorsese described Liotta as being "fearless" while on set of "Goodfellas," specifically when Liotta received the news his mother was dying right before shooting a scene for the movie.
