Hollywood actor Ray Liotta passed away in his sleep this Thursday in the Dominican Republic, at the age of 67.
The American actor was known for the “Good Fellas” movie (1990), and passed while on location, shooting upcoming movie, “Dangerous Waters,” according to his publicist, Jennifer Allen.
“No foul play is suspected,” said Allen, who confirmed that Liotta’s fiancee, Jacy Nittolo, was with him on the island.
Liotta received first big break on the small screen in the soap opera “Another World.” He was also nominated for a Golden Globe award for his movie “Something Wild” in 1986.
The TV series “ER” earned him an Emmy Award for his outstanding role in the drama series.
Liotta also had several upcoming projects including Cocaine Bear, and Black Bird, and he was expected to start another film called “The Substance,” starring Demi Moore and Margret Qualley.
Following the actors’ death, several actors have payed tribute to the Goodfellas star, including Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta’s co-star in the classic mobster film, telling ET: “I was very saddened to learn of Ray’s passing. He is way too young to have left us. May he Rest in Peace.”
According to AP news, the actor was also mourned by Alessandro Nivola, who worked with him recently in “The Sopranos” prequel, “The Many Saints of Newark,” saying Liotta was “dangerous, unpredictable, hilarious, and generous with his praise for other actors.”
