Ray Liotta, the American intense actor from New Jersey best known for his turn as the hustle turned mob rat Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s GoodFellas, has died at the age of 67.

Publicist Jennifer Allen told the Hollywood Reporter that the actor died Wednesday night or early Thursday in his sleep in his hotel room while in Dominican Republic making the movie Dangerous Water.

His fiancée, Jacy Nittolo, was with him. He had begun work on the film about a week ago.

He was a good guy who played lots of bad guys, he also sparkled in 'Something Wild,' as Shoeless Joe Jackson in 'Field of Dreams' and on TV's 'Shades of Blue.'
