In one of his final roles before he passed away in 2022 at age 67, Ray Liotta’s turn in the Apple TV+ limited series “Black Bird” has garnered a posthumous Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a limited or anthology series.
Mike Fleming Jr. for Deadline:
Liotta played Big Jim Keene, the former police officer who is devastated when his football hero son Jimmy (Taron Egerton) is sentenced to a decade in prison for drug dealing. Big Jim encourages his son to accept an FBI offer to go from a minimum security to maximum security prison so that he can bond with Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), who is suspected to be a serial killer who may have murdered 18 girls. Hall leads investigators just short of an acknowledgment of the crime and whereabout of the bodies, and young Keene is tasked with discovering the whereabouts of those bodies, or determining that Hall is a serial confessor rather than a murderer.
Liotta, best known for his work in films that include Goodfellas, Something Wild, Field of Dreams and Cop Land, died in his sleep of heart and respiratory ailments while shooting Dangerous Waters in the Dominican Republic. But, his work lives on.

Another death by vaccine mandate for the killer flu bug that didnt kill anyone but the vaccine killed millions, and still is.
Hey Kent- This isn’t 4chan, find somewhere else to peddle your nonsense and let’s keep this about APPLE news. FFS!
Add Jamie Foxx to the list. And Bob Sager. And Bruce Willis. All victims of sudden death, sudden disappearance, sudden brain loss. And then there are all your friends and family with strange turbo cancers and heart attacks in the high schools gyms and tracks, and on and on. Never happened in these high number before, but now it’s normal. Yet the same idiots who deny these deaths, want all of society changed and life and prosperity diminished because supposedly cow farts are threatening our existence. And these idiots refer to others as conspiracy theorists. And they peddle the “bovine cow fart attack on the planet”. What a bunch of lunatic infantile wackos we let drive our discourse and our policy. The result – vaccines that don’t stop the bad thing you are afraid of, but do kill you. Or maim you. Or make you sterile. That is the cost of letting people like JIM anywhere near power.
Kent, my friend, step away from your buddies over at Fox and go outside, it’s a wonderful, beautiful world (full of Apple products). You are the definition of a conspiracy theorist sitting on a website spreading news about wonderful tech and blathering on about nonsense. Or possibly you’re a very sophisticated Russian bot, in that class, hat tip to you…
