Ray Liotta, who starred in Martin Scorsese’s gangster classic “Goodfellas,” died on Thursday, according to US media. He was 67.

According to the film trade publication Deadline, he died while filming a new film in the Dominican Republic. His death was also reported by TMZ and Variety.

Despite prior success, Liotta’s breakthrough role came in 1990, when he was cast as real-life mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s crime masterpiece.

He co-starred with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in what is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of the twentieth century, with scenes that have become cultural touchstones.

“Goodfellas” received one Academy Award nomination and was nominated for five more. Liotta had played baseball star Shoeless Joe Jackson in “Field of Dreams” a year before, opposite Kevin Costner in a widely acclaimed sports film.
