Rayn Liotta Played

The unexpected death of Hollywood legend Ray Liotta has caused many of the late actor's fans to go back and admire some of his greatest work. Aside from his classic film performances, Liotta had many TV cameo appearances and he even dusted off his gangster chops for a “Young Sheldon” guest starring role.
Ray Liotta's guest spot in "Young Sheldon" comes at the end of Season 1, Episode 5 ("A Solar Calculator, a Game Ball, and a Cheerleader's Bosom"). In the episode, he portrays a bookie who is trying to collect money from Sheldon's Meemaw (Annie Potts).
It's a short spot for a legendary actor, but also one that feels specifically designed for Liotta's gangster-riddled filmography. While the episode first aired in November 2017, Liotta's guest role has lived on thanks to the show's wide availability to stream through Paramount+ and the TBS app.
