A trailer for psychological thriller series Black Bird gives viewers a glimpse at Ray Liotta in his final TV appearance following his death at the age of 67.
The Goodfellas actor finished working on the Apple TV+ programme, playing Big Jim Keene alongside on-screen son Taron Egerton, before he died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic on May 26.
The teaser clip shows Liotta speaking to Egerton on the phone, saying: “I never wanted this for you. I wanted a totally different life. A steady pay check, kids, a family.”
Egerton, who plays Jimmy Keene, says: “Dad, tell me there’s a way out of this.”
Liotta responds: “Not a quick one.”
The six-episode series follows Egerton’s character, who is serving 10 years in a minimum security prison, enter a maximum security prison for the criminally insane with a mission to befriend a suspected serial killer in exchange for freedom.
Black Bird is the first of Liotta’s remaining projects to debut following his death while filming Dangerous Waters. The actor also completed film Cocaine Bear before his death.
Liotta found fame playing ex-con Ray Sinclair in 1986 black comedy Something Wild, for which he received a Golden Globe nomination.
