I'm a little confused here about what's going on with the reverting stuff. If I reverted something I wasn't supposed to, sorry, and can you change it back? It looked like vandalism, so if I made a mistake, again...I'm sorry!--ViolinGirl^♪ 01:24, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

The Link to "Kontroll" is incorrect. He was in the Film "Control," which apparently does not yet have a wikipedia article.

[edit] Trivia

The following should be incorporated into the article or deleted. See Wikipedia's use of trivia sections in articles.

• In Field of Dreams, Liotta played the left-handed hitting Shoeless Joe Jackson. Because Liotta himself is a right-handed hitter, the character appears as a right-handed hitter in the film.

• Ray Liotta is a fan of the English football team Arsenal F.C. He was even guest of honour at an Arsenal match in the 2005-2006 season. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nikki88 (talk • contribs) 14:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Criminal

"an actor and criminal?" why is liolita branded a criminal with a source quoting he was caught DUI? a criminal robs banks and shoots people, he was drunk driving! Not that i in any way condone such behaviour, but George W Bush has been charged for the same offence and his page doesn't brand him "USA President and criminal"

i dont think his opening description should state this - it conotates that he is a persistant law-breaker, it should be at most a section at the bottom with the incident written out in full rather than a defaming statement and a loose connection.

I fully agree. (a) He has been charged, not convicted, so he's still innocent until proven guilty. (b) Even if found guilty, he'd be guilty of a misdemeanor, not a crime, so he'd still not be a "criminal". (c) Even if it were a crime, it's a part of his story that would be worth mentioning in the article, but not in the lead paragraph. He's notable because of his film work, not because of any DUI conviction. I've reverted the edit. JackofOz 01:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

---bush is a criminal, and driving drunk is the least of his violations.
