Ray Liotta

Ray Liotta

Ray Liotta is returning to his gangster character roots - he's set to play a poker hustler in Brad Pitt's new crime movie Cogan's Trade.
 
Liotta made a name for himself starring as mobster Henry Hill in the 1990 Martin Scorsese classic Goodfellas, and he's set to head back to the criminal underworld in the new film, which is based on George V. Higgins' 1974 book.
 
Pitt will play an enforcer investigating a heist during a poker game, while Liotta plays the organiser of the illegal game.
 
The movie will also star Sopranos actor James Gandolfini, as well as Javier Bardem, Sam Rockwell, Casey Affleck and Mark Ruffalo.

Liotta was last seen on the big screen in Charlie St Cloud, which saw him star alongside Zac Efron, and has The Son of No One ready for release.

He has also completed work on The Entitled Things Fall Apart and The River Sorrow.
