Ray Liotta’s Career in Photos, From ‘Goodfellas’ to ‘The Many Saints of Newark’

Ray Liotta, who played both cops in criminals in scores of films and series, has died at 67. Getting his start on the soap opera “Another World” in 1978, he made a name for himself in film with a Golden Globe nod for 1986’s “Something Wild,” and a few years later became a marquee name thanks to a dynamic lead performance in Martin Scorsese’s sprawling mob epic “Goodfellas” in 1990. Liotta spent his career making interesting choices: While there were many crime films on his resume, he also appeared in comedies (“Observe and Report,” ‘Wild Hogs”), worked with auteur directors (Andrew Dominik, Noah Baumbach) and co-starred with everyone from Jennifer Lopez to The Muppets. Revisit some of Liotta’s best roles through the photos below.
