The New Jersey native also appeared in such recent films as The Many Saints of Newark, Marriage Story and No Sudden Move, along with big-screen turns in pics ranging from Something Wild, No Escape and Cop Land to Hannibal, Blow, John Q and Smokin’ Aces. He also graced such less-serious fare including Operation Dumbo Drop, Muppets Most Wanted and Date Night.
Along with his many big-screen credits, Liotta was a regular presence on TV, starring with Jennifer Lopez in NBC’s police drama Shades of Blue and most recently opposite Taron Egerton in limited series Black Bird, which premieres July 8 on Apple TV+.
But the ruggedly handsome, blue-eyed actor is best known for back-to-back roles some 30 years ago in Field of Dreams, playing the blackballed baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson opposite Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones — “Man, I did love this game,” Jackson says — and starring as mobster Henry Hill in Scorsese’s genre classic Goodfellas. Who can forgot his tense back-and-forth with Pesci’s Tommy DeVito: “I’m funny like a clown — I amuse you?”
So have a look back at Liotta’s memorable career in the gallery above, which features more than three dozen images.
