RIP to Ray Liotta. He was such a good voice actor for Tommy.

R.I.P. to Tommy’s voice actor, he did a good job voicing Tommy in this game.

I saw an interview of Ray Liotta, specifically a portion where he was asked about vice city. He said that he felt like all he was doing was cursing. That would seem weird considering all the dialogue tommy has during the story… but then I found a clip of Tommy dialogue in the open world, things like what he screams when fighting the police or crashing his car. So maybe he had entire workdays where he only yelled insults rather than having meaningful dialogue and that left him with a bad impression about his role in the game.

Says a lot when Tommy cared for Lance and gave him numerous chances despite his true nature. If it were any other GTA protagonist, their judgment would be much harsher.

11:00 This cutscene hits hard now “Gracias, amigo. Hasta luego.” R.I.P Ray Liotta 🪦🌸🌹

RIP Ray Liotta he did a Fantastic Job for being Tommy Vercetti's Voiceactor.

Hey Professional, another honorable thing Tommy did is respect the oath of omertà, he could of been a whistleblower and gone into witness protection but he didn’t do it because he was not 100% sure that Sonny actually betrayed him. Just like you said in another video you made, he would like wait a long time to get his revenge. Another thing that was honorable was that he got revenge for earnest Kelly.

Lance Vance is very lucky that he has people looking out for him. If he was on his own, he won’t last long. Tommy and Vic were really his closest allies.

RIP to Ray Liotta. Easily one of the best gangster actors of all time.

"Vercetti, remember the name!" RIP Ray Liotta

Ray Liotta is never gone. He lives on in all our hearts.

What I like about Tommy is that he's remain calm and cool, and plotting the plans perfectly before *"GOD DAMN"* Lance Vance ruined it whenever Lance being an *"Idiot & Reckless Mood"* and when Ken became an anxious and restless after what happened to *"BOTCHED DEAL"* and *"The Death of Vic Vance aka one of the Underrated GTA Protagonists"*

A beautiful way to honor the actor

Before Vice City Stories came out, I also thought it was Tommy's yelling at him that he betrayed. But seeing what Lance did in the Vice City story convinced me that Tommy is actually a good boss, even by not showing his dominance over his gang members, and Lance in particular, shows he didn't act like other Mafia Boss.

RIP Ray Liotta. Tommy is by far one of the most honorable GTA protagonists.

Excellent video, man. A big shame that Ray Liotta passed away, he did such a tremendous job. R.I.P. Ray Liotta.

He saved Cortez' life. He saved Phil's life. He saved Lance's life. He helped save the entirety of Love Fist. He treated Earnest and his employees good. He's not a great person, obviously. But he's honorable and loyal.

When I was a kid I too thought Tommy was though on Lance, but from my current point of view Tommy is the best possible gang leader anyone could wish to work with. He's the opposite of Tony Montana when it comes to personality: always cold-minded, and thinking how to get out of situations in a way that benefits not only him, but his people as well. He's a bad person, but honorable at least. And getting to know how Vic was in Vice City Stories (and his own experiences with betrayal too) one has to wonder the potential Tommy and Vic could have had if they worked together instead of Tommy and Lance. Good video.

although its minor, i liked how he didn't blame Earnest Kelly in Cap the Collector and told the guys to get him to the hospital

R.I.P Ray Liotta you will never be forgotten and you did a great job

The ending of vice city showed who Tommy's real friend was Ken Rosenberg thats the morale story behind vice city who are your real friends

RIP Liotta my childhood was amazing while I was playing Vice City. I had a great memories.

R.I.P. Ray Liotta 12/18/1954 - 5/26/2022 Gone, but not forgotten. 💐

I would argue that the most honorable and good thing Tommy does happens after the story of Vice City. He sends Ken Rosenberg off to rehab and cuts ties, not only to save Ken's life from cocaine, but think about it, it's pretty much him offering Ken a second chance at life away from crime. Of course he wastes that in San Andreas, but still.

Very honorable to see this special video about the legend of GTA Vice City, Ray Liotta (Tommy Vercetti), thanks for making this, i hope you have a wonderful day Patrick.

Just wanted to say thanks to ray liota. He did a great job with all of the roles he played, especially gta vice city. Rest In Peace

TBF, it's also plausible that the Psycho did in fact not survive the first encounter with Tommy, but rather had someone else rig the limo to explode in case he was killed...

But in GTA 3, he's missing his left arm and in VC, he blows away his right arm. Why couldn't Rockstar fix that mistake in the new version?

first thing i thought when i heard ray died was that he just barely missed vice city's 20th year anniversary by 5 months. Really unfortunate but atleast his death wasn't terrible he passed away in his sleep from natural causes.

Rip Ray Liotta, but his charactes will live forever with us! Thanks for the video!

RIP Ray Liotta Thank you for your continued content Professional. I really enjoy watching your videos and it’s always great to see retro content. Best wishes from The UK 👍🇬🇧

I remember how saving love fist from the psycho to be one of the hardest yet honorable thing tommy ever did especially when the psycho puts a bomb in the limo that mission was hard

Glad you gave the honor to Ray. It goes to show his excellence when many of my favorite pieces of entertainment of all time feature his acting talent. As you show, Tommy does do some good things but he is still mostly (self admittedly) a crazy, psychopathic s.o.b. Ray gave Tommy likeability. Good stuff as always, Pro!

idk if you’ve already done it, but you should make one with niko. also, rip Ray Liotta. he will always have a special place in my heart. a goodfella and the voice actor to my second favorite gta character of all time.

For Ray. Lost but not forgotten!

This is Why I Fucking Adore Vice City! TOMMY VERCETTI! REMEMBER THE NAME!!!!! God, I have So Many Memories of this Game!!!

glad you did this my friend. RIP Ray Liotta, you where such a great actor when it came to Gangsters

Another lore video Love these

I met ray Liotta at a gym in Los Angeles ,he told me I look just like Tommy

I remember the episode he did a guest role on ER. I cried. One of humanity's greatest actors.

Two characters i loved in GTA and they both betrayed me, Ryder and Lance Vance:(

Say what you want about Tommy but he always stayed loyal to his friends and associates, even to Sonny Forelli, he never screwed them over. And he always treated elderly people he came across with lots of respect.

R.I.P. to the voice actor of Tommy Vercetti, lost, but not forgotten ✊ Long Live Ray Liotta 🕊️ Fly high 🕊️😇

R. I. P. Ray Liotta. He left a fiance and a daughter and a huge and successful career 🕊️

RIP Ray Liotta in the chat

People who say GTA games are nothing more than just mindless killing simulators really don't know what they're talking about.

Tommy, CJ, & Niko are easily the most loyal protagonists in the GTA Series

I knew you would make this lore video. Thanks for fulfilling my wish. And you have told exactly the same good things which even I felt about Tommy.

Tommy Vercetti. Isn’t too moral type of a bad guy. But he would try never commit to betraying the criminals he work with and consider some to be his friend outside spending 15 years in prison while some have backstabbed him. Obviously Lance and Sonny.

The last one had one of or the greatest quote of all time in GTA Vice City.

Pro, just found your channel as I'm falling in love with GTA online. Mainly thanks to your videos, and guides to make money! Your lore videos are absolutely awesome, and I can't believe the amount of small details and other stuff I've missed over the years playing these games!

Hopefully this video isn't flagged with copyright.

loving your vice city playtroughs and 100% runs dont ever stop what you do your work is epic

Another honorable mention could be helping the old guy in the print works. I forgot what what the old guys name was but I remember Tommy was really protective of him and even gave him a job making fake bills.

Tommy may not be a good person, but he is an honorable one. That's why he's my second favorite GTA protagonist after Niko Bellic. Also, you and Gaming Investigators should do a collab video in the future. You both make the best GTA videos. PS: R.I.P. Ray Liotta

RIP to the legendary Ray Liotta. He stared in a lot of shows and movies himself and has voiced Tommy Vercetti in GTA Vice City as well. Gone, but never forgotten and many condolences to his family and friends and hey, great job on this list btw. This is off topic, but I think Lance Vance is a wasted character.

Gary Busey was a great voice for Phil. Man, Vice City was packed with stars. Ray Liotta, Willie Nelson, Burt Reynolds to name a Few

Can't wait for your video on Lance Vance. Really sick of his fans defending his actions when it's his attitude that caused him to be treated like the way he was.

I know you already made a top 5 annoying GTA characters from the HD universe, but will you be doing a top 5 annoying GTA characters from the 3D universe? Also you should make a top 5 worst missions in 3, Vice City, Liberty City Stories, 4, & 5.

When the explosion goes off, Phil's right arm is missing. But after Tommy drops him off to the hospital, Liberty City Stories, and GTA 3, his left arm is missing

Excellent and professional as usual, Mr. The professional.

Nice Video. I'll be replaying Vice City again soon, I also have Vice City Stories (PS2 versions for both!) but I've not played that one before - somehow. Only one tiny error in the video that I spotted. The Psycho doesn't have a Scottish accent. It's North of England. The first one sounds vaguely Macclesfield / Macc Ladds to me, but the Tape Message is definitely a Manchester accent. Listen to Chris Ecclestone as the 9th Doctor in Doctor Who. That's the accent of the Psycho. Of course "everybody knows" that American actors can't do a British Accent :) , but this is one of those times that it's actually pretty good. So kudos to Hunter Platin.

You can say tommy was a Goodfella I'll see myself out

R.i.p tommy you awsome

Actually, the stalker sounds more like he's from Yorkshire in England, not Scotland.

YEAAAH THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT PRO. I LOOOOVE THESE LORE VIDEOS DUDE

RIP Ray Liotta, also I'm glad true and genuine channels like Professional exist who don't post any BS and keep entertaining me with original content

Also don’t forget Tommy send Ken Rosenberg to rehab in Fort Carson town of Bone County, San Andreas. And paid for it all. Instead of just killing Ken for his reliability mindset due to the coke he snorts.

This was a great lore video about Tommy V and I look forward for more lore videos from the other protagonists from the other gta games and other different lore videos too from gta 3 and vice city and VCS and LCS and gta 4 and the lost and dammed and also the balled of gay tony and gta 5 too I love these top 5 videos or top 10 it's awesome professional Patrick keep them coming!

Just a note as a British fan, the stalkers accent is not Scottish, its more northern English to me something like Yorkshire but definitely 100% not scottish, british accents are hard because there are literally hundreds, keep up the good work though 👍

i knew this was going to be a good one as soon as i seen the title. RIP Ray

I really admire the effort Professional puts into making these lore videos. Nice video again :)

Rest In Peace Ray Liotta your the voice actor to one of my favorite gta games also you should do the top 5 or ten things dishonorable tommy did but if not that’s ok

Killing Diaz. The guy was clearly addicted to cocaine in Vice City Stories and most likely was still addicted 2 years later and lost his mind. Tommy however didn't get addicted so he was level headed and only got angry when his gang members weren't pulling their weight

RIP to Ray Liotta. Thank you for voicing Tommy Vercetti for us GTA fans and playing Henry Hill in Goodfellas. Goodfellas paved away for more mafia type movies in the 90s when godfather part 3 feel very odd from the original two godfather movies that came before. Even made the Mafia game series possible.

the best good thing Tommy did was sending Rosenberg to rehab and though he didn't get him back in his gang it was good for Ken that he later became working for Madd Dogg and CJ and that is a work seemingly outside of crime

Keep on coming with the GTA lore videos and RIP Ray Liotta

Love these videos about GTA. I like your insights and every explaination of the plot of the game. Makes me know more alot about the game that I didn't know, even though I have played these games quite a long time.. I have a video request. Can you make GTA protagonists comparison? Who has the most moral values and savage of them all? I watched your GTA VCS walkthroughs recently and I am curious when you said Vic Vance is the most moral gta protagonist. Looking forward for more videos man.

My favorite GTA protagonist! RIP to Ray Liotta.❤️

Earnest kelly was like tommys father figure

RIP Ray Liotta

As a Scottish person I love that love fist use Scottish language within there speech and that the subtitles got them wrong haha Ken like ae

Vice City my favourite GTA love Tommy Vercetti loved Ray Liotta in it R.I.P. Ray.

I love the videos I'm just curious about why you decided to use "definitive" cutscenes for these lore videos instead of the original versions?

Hey professional. Yesterday I was playing gta online riding around in my khanjali doing fun and stupid things when I saw a player in distress. He was getting spawn killed by two players so I decided to help him. He hopped in my khanjali and we spawn killed them for about 20 minutes. Afterwards he invited me to a party and laughed as he said those were innocent people and that he helped me kill them and I feels so bad so I think I’ll be taking a long break from gta online.

Why did Lance betrayed Tommy? That's the Lore video that we all been waiting for.

Rip to ray liotta sir and i appreciate him voicing tommy vercetti he's always the best and no one can ever replace him may his soul rip

Happy 4th, Professional! As for Lance, to quote Ken Rosenberg: “He’s neurotic, he’s insecure, the guy’s an a**hole!”

Lance Vance is a big sociopath and the most paranoid character in gta franchise even though in my opinion he is way better than Dimitri Rascolov though Lance's was way to unexpected

I think you may be wrong about the Hit the Courier mission. I vaguely remember there being some kind of trap you can lure them into if you just hit them and run, or maybe you have to let them land on the other island, I forget. It's been a long time since I played VC

Heres to hoping this video doesn't get demonitized

Ray Liotta's death is so sad. The sloppy Definitive Edition only rubs salt in the wound.

I really hope Tommy returns as a boss in GTA 6, unlikely with Liotta's passing but it would be amazing to see him in power

Happy 4th of July pro!

Happy 4th of July Patrick. 😇🎇🎆

Rip the voice actor

About the psycho from love fist, he was dead actually but before he did left a cassette in the car of the love fist.

R:I:P RAY LIOTTA YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN ON OUR HEARTS. YOU WHERE OUR CHILDHOOD AND MADE US SMILE R:I:P LEGEND 💙❤️🙏😥

To sum up Lance's betrayal cocaine's helleva drug

I love Tommy vercetti he's a man I would gladly bleed for.
