GTA Vice City: Ray Liotta, the actor who played Tommy Vercetti, died at the age of 67

It is through Deadline that we learn that actor Ray Liotta died in his sleep at the age of 67 while taking part in the filming of his next film, in the Dominican Republic. In the cinema, he is best known for having played Henry Hill in the exceptional Goodfellas by Martin Scorcese. If the tributes in the middle of the 7th art flow since the announcement of this sad news, Rocktar Games also went there with its tweet. Why ? Quite simply because in the video game, Ray Liotta had made an impression by lending his voice to Tommy Vercetti, the hero of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Moreover, he had been rewarded at the Spike Video Game Awards for the quality of his interpretation, knowing that there was heavy by his side like Burt Reynolds (Avery Carrington), Dennis Hopper (Steve Scott), or even Danny Trejo (Umberto Robina). Several years later, Activision enlisted his services to portray Billy Handsome in Call of Duty: Black Ops II's Zombies campaign. Just like in the cinema, tributes from players are flooding social networks.
