Henry Hill, mobster portrayed by Ray Liotta in Goodfellas.
EDIT: Thanks Owlsfan for the correction.
He's gone and there ain't nothing we can do about it (think he was played by Ray Liotta).Quote:

I never knew it was he who said "Can't we all just get along" which a generation of black comedians have taken the pee out of. I heard a biography of the man on bbc 4 and he really is a tragic figure who just couldn't get a grip on life. Only 47 too.
Rialto... jesus, I was thinking that the regeneration of Fatima Mansions had gone really well... pools and all...

Sad to see Eric go. So much in the limelight for years and then disappears.
Actor Andy Griffith, perhaps best known for his part in Matlock:
Oh no. Loved Eric Sykes.
Can't believe no one posted about Andy Griffith yesterday...

Loved that comedy - no more fitting tribute to the man, Stann!
Hopefully some channel will show that, Rhubarb and The Plank.
I did. Just a minute ahead of you!Quote:
