The actor was engaged to Jesse Nitolo at the time of his death.
Liotta caught the attention of Hollywood in the 1986 film “Something Wild,” starring Melanie Griffith’s violent ex-husband, a role that earned him a Golden Globe nomination. He went on to appear as Joe Jackson’s Shoes in the 1989 classic of the baseball theme Field of Dreams, along with Kevin Costner, in which he uttered the memorable, often-quoted line: “Hey, rookie! You were good!

But Liota’s breakthrough role came in Martin Scorsese’s 1990 film The Good Boys, as part of a stellar cast that included Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Lorraine Braco. Based in part on the life of a former mobster who became a government informant, Henry Hill, played by Liota, he became an almost instant classic and shot Liota to the stars.
Liota has recently appeared in films, including Marriage Story and the spin-off Soprano, The Many Saints of Newark.
He has also appeared on television shows, including Shades of Blue, along with Jennifer Lopez, Hanna and Black Bird.
