The actor received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor for the 1986 film Something Wild. His other notable roles include Cop Land, 2001’s Hannibal, Blow, The Place Beyond The Pines and TV series Shades Of Blue.

Director James Mangold, who worked with Liotta on Cop Land, paid tribute on Twitter, writing: “Shocked and saddened to hear of Ray Liotta’s passing. Beyond the tough guy exterior and the tightly wound emotions of signature characters, he was a sweet, playful and passionate collaborator and brilliant actor. RIP.”

I am utterly shattered to hear this terrible news about my Ray.
I can be anywhere in the world & people will come up & tell me their favorite movie is Goodfellas. Then they always ask what was the best part of making that movie. My response has always been the same…Ray Liotta. pic.twitter.com/3gNjJFTAne
