Ray Liotta 'Goodfellas', 'Heart Breakers', 'Field of Dreams' dies at 67

Ray Liotta died in his sleep while on location working in his next production. He will always be remembered for his role (Henry Hill) in the Martin Scorsese film, "Goodfellas" (1990). It is considered the "best" gangster movie ever made.  

He also portrayed baseball player (Shoeless Joe Jackson) in "Field of Dreams" (1989). Joe comes back with other baseball greats to play ball in a specially built "field" on a farm. 

I always thought Ray was a light-comedian. He was never "slap-stick" nor the guy who threw "one-liners." He played it "straight." Like in - "Heartbreakers" (2001) where he portrayed a con artist (Dean Cumanno). All of the characters played it "straight" too. They let the story be funny. My favorite of Ray Liotta. RIP....
