Earlier it was reported that Actor and producer Ray Liotta, who became famous after starring in Martin Scorsese’s gangster drama The Goodfellas, has died at the age of 67. In 1992, Ray Liotta was nominated for the MTV Awards in the Best Villain category for the thriller Invasion. He starred throughout the decade and earned critical praise for his roles as a remorseful officer in Cops and a gambling-obsessed cop in Phoenix.

One of the most memorable screen appearances of the Actor’s career was Ridley Scott’s Hannibal, where he played one of the victims of serial killer Hannibal Lecter. In the early 2000s, the roles of Liotta in such films as Cocaine, Drug Lord, John Q, and Revolver were also positively received. In the latter half of the 2000s, with rare exceptions like Andrew Dominic’s gangster art drama The Casino Heist, Liotta began acting in low-budget, often direct-to-DVD genre films. He managed to play five or six roles a year in such films.
