Grand Theft Auto Vice City wouldn’t have been the same without it
The name of Ray Liotta may not tell you much, but it is indeed his voice that was hidden behind the character of Tommy Vercetti. Beyond this iconic figure of the franchise Grand Theft Autothe actor, born in the 1950s, had made a name for himself in films directed by great directors such as Freedmen by Martin Scorsese or Hannibal de Ridley Scott. However, it was the first film mentioned that caught the attention of the American studio, in particular because of the relatively close atmosphere that the developers were trying to create in the 2000s with Grand Theft Auto : Vice City.
The actor therefore leaves us at the age of 67, but will remain inseparable from the franchise Grand Theft Auto thanks to his character Tommy Vercetti, former henchman and trusted man of one of Liberty City’s mafia kingpins, who was accompanied in his drug control abuses in the upscale city of Vice City. The former henchman and thug made a fresh start there and then had free rein to devote himself to an unscrupulous social climb for power and money.
