Ray Liotta's Mini Bio:
Ray Liotta began his acting career in New York, where he had early good fortune with a regular gig on the daytime soap opera Another World from 1978 to 1981. He then relocated to Hollywood, but it was another five years before he broke out as Melanie Griffith's abusive husband in Something Wild in 1986. Ray Liotta was a leading man with unconventional looks and steely blue eyes, he excels at playing charming characters with a dark side, despite his occasional turns as a good guy in films such as Field of Dreams in 1990, starring Kevin Costner and Corrina, Corrina in 1994, with Whoopi Goldberg. Ray Liotta is best known for playing Henry Hill, the central "wiseguy" in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas in 1990.
When he heard Martin Scorsese was casting GoodFellas, he lobbied hard for the part of Henry Hill. The films success brought him wide popularity and lead billing in future films.

    I remember thinking he was HOT when I was a kid watching Another World and he played Joey Perrini. He is such a talented actor and so handsome.

    Ray Liotta is a great actor in my book.He's great @ what he does & his personality & good looks make him even better. One of his greatest features is his eyes. To me, his personality & everything else about him is so manly & it draws people in, just like it did me.
