When I was 19 I did a Q&A screening for NARC at Arclight. Ray Leota was incredibly kind to everyone, even the star-stroke kid (me) who couldn’t help but talk awkwardly to one of his favorite actors. The man is a legend and has a long legacy of incredible performances. RIP

I will never forget how terrible it is #Railiota Something was wild, the first time I saw him. A few years later I directed him to Family Guy and he was very sweet, almost shy. An extraordinary actor. RIP

I try not to RIP but Ray Leota was really one of my favorites. His performances have this magnetic attraction, which is part of the reason Godfelles is tied to the aliens as my favorite movie (s).
This one bites more than usual.
