“Goodfellas” Actor Ray Liotta Dead at 67- Entertainment News

By Geoffrey Huchel

Sad news today in the entertainment world with the sudden passing of prolific character actor Ray Liotta. The popular actor, known for his roles in GOODFELLAS (1990) and FIELD OF DREAMS (1989), passed away May 26, 2022 in his sleep while in the Dominican Republic, where the actor was filming the film DANGEROUS WATERS. He was 67.

After Liotta graduated from the University of Miami, Liotta moved to New York City and landed an agent within six months while he had been working as a bartender. One of his earliest roles was on the long-running (and since defunct) daytime series ANOTHER WORLD (1964-199). He appeared on the series from 1978 to 1981, and then opted to leave to try his luck in the film industry, which led to him moving to Los Angeles. Since then he has built a successful four-decades long career in both TV and film.

Liotta’s filmography includes ST. ELSEWHERE (1982-1988), SOMETHING WILD (1986), ARTICLE 99 (1992), UNLAWFUL ENTRY (1992), CORRINA, CORINNA (1994), OPERATION DUMBO DROP (1995), FRASIER (1993-2004), UNFORGETTABLE (1996), COP LAND (1997), THE RAT PACK (1998), MUPPETS FROM SPACE (1999), HANNIBAL (2001), HEARTBREAKERS (2001), BLOW (2001), JUST SHOOT ME (1997-2003), JOHN Q (2002), ER (1994-2009), WILD HOGS (2007), BEE MOVIE (2007), CHARLIE ST.
