Ray Liotta gets emotional in last TV role, 'Black Bird'

Apple Tv+ dropped the trailer for 1 of late actor Ray Liotta’s closing roles.

The 6-episode drama “Black Bird” streams on the system July 8. The miniseries follows the son of a law enforcement officer, Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton), who is sentenced to serve 10 years in a minimal-safety jail. But he has a selection: he can stay or transfer to a highest-stability facility and befriend a suspected serial killer (Paul Walter Hauser) in hopes of having him to confess to far more crimes.

Liotta, who performs Keene’s father, is viewed at the start off of the trailer. “I by no means desired this for you,” he suggests. “I preferred a thoroughly diverse lifestyle — a continual paycheck, young children, a household.”

Past month, “Black Bird” creator Dennis Lehane wrote a tribute to Liotta, stating working with the actor was a “culmination of a lifelong aspiration.”

Lehane also explained he penned Liotta’s part with the actor in mind and was “humbled, honored, fist-pump elated” when he swiftly signed on to the challenge.

The 67-year-aged “Goodfellas” alum died final month in his rest whilst filming the movie “Dangerous Waters” in the Dominican Republic.

“Goodfellas” director Martin Scorsese was “absolutely shocked and devastated” by Liotta’s demise.

“He was so uniquely gifted, so adventurous, so brave as an actor,” Scorsese said in a statement.

On Tuesday, Scorsese said he “regrets” not remaining in a position to perform with Liotta once again before his premature demise.

“I wish I’d experienced the chance to see him just as soon as far more, too — to notify him just how significantly the get the job done we did alongside one another meant to me. But probably he understood that. I hope so,” the Oscar-successful director, 79, wrote in an op-ed for the Guardian.
