Ray Liotta
For Ray Liotta, knowing he was adopted shaped some of the roles he has chosen throughout his acting career. For example, his part in The Identical appealed to him because of his personal history.
“I found my birth mother and found out I have, not an identical twin, but a half brother, five half-sisters and a full sister that I didn’t know about until 15 years ago,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2014.
