The Goodfellas actor died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic, according to Deadline.

R.I.P.
Is it October yet?

Damn. I enjoyed a lot of his movies, especially the trashy ones. RIP.

Yeah I heard about that too.

QuoteDeadline hears he died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic, where he was shooting the film Dangerous Waters. We will have more details when they become available.

Liotta leaves behind a daughter, Karsen. He was engaged to be married to Jacy Nittolo.

Liotta was on a big resurgence. Recent turns included The Many Saints of Newark, Marriage Story — for which he shared a 2020 Indie Spirit Award for its ensemble — and No Sudden Move. He finished the Elizabeth Banks-directed Cocaine Bear and was due to star in the Working Title film The Substance opposite Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley.

He had his "who's thar?" turn in the Jonathan Demme-directed Something Wild (1987) and got a Golden Globe nomination, and then played banned Chicago White Sox superstar Shoeless Joe Jackson opposite KEvin Costner and James Earl Jones in 1988's Field of Dreams. He then quickly followed playing gangster Henry Hill in Scorsese's Goodfellas, opposite Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in what was to be the defining role of his career.

Kind of hit close to home since Field of Dreams was largely filmed where I lived in Iowa.

RIP Ray Liotta

Have to be honest and say GOODFELLAS is all I really know him for,  but it's one of my top 3 fav movies ever. maybe even #1.
