UM classmates with Steve Bauer (aka., "Rocky Echevarria") of Scarface fame....I remember Bauer telling story of how he recommended Liotta for Goodfellas, a role that Bauer had coveted but was told he was too tall (standing next to DeNiro).
This one genuinely upset me. Was one of my favorite actors and he's also one of the first non-athletes that a lot of us will mention when throwing out cool people that went to their college.
Beloved University of Miami alum Raymond Allen Liotta died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic, where he was filming his most recent movie “Dangerous Waters.”
