Ray Sharkey

Raymond "Ray" Sharkey, Jr. (14. novembar 1952 – 11. jun 1993) bio je američki glumac, najpoznatiji po ulozi muzičkog producenta Vincenta Vaccarija u filmu The Idolmaker, za koju je nagrađen Zlatnim globusom, odnosno Sonnyja Steelgravea u TV-seriji Wiseguy. Na Sharkeyevu karijeru je u posljednjim godinama značajno uticala ovisnost o heroinu zbog koje je često odlazio u klinike za odvikavanje, ali i zbog koje se zarazio virusom HIV-a. Iako je znao da je zaražen, vodio je aktivan seksualni život i virusom zarazio nekoliko svojih partnerica. Od posljedica bolesti je na kraju umro.
