Ray Liotta has died at the age of 67. He passed away in his sleep in the Dominican Republic where he was filming the upcoming movie Dangerous Waters. Liotta’s memorable films include his breakthrough role in the mob classic “Goodfellas”. Liotta played real-life criminal Henry Hill opposite Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. He scored a Golden Globe nomination for his role alongside Melanie Griffith in the 1986 action romance “Something Wild.” In 1989’s “Field of Dreams,” he portrayed “Shoeless Joe” Jackson.
Liotta’s co-stars paid tribute to him on social media after the sad news broke. “Ray was my partner in crime on ‘Shades of Blue’ … the first thing that comes to mind is he was so kind to my children,” Jennifer Lopez wrote. “Ray was the epitome of a tough guy who was all mushy on the inside … I guess that’s what made him such a compelling actor to watch. The original Goodfella.” Robert De Niro, Lorraine Bracco, Jamie Lee Curtis, Aaron Egerton, and Charlie Day also posted tributes.
