Ray Liotta, for decades a prolific source of gravitas in the industry, died on Thursday at the age of 67.

Deadline first reported the news, saying the Goodfellas and The Many Saints of Newark actor died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic, where he (and his fiancée Jacy Nittolo) were staying while Liotta worked on an upcoming film. The news came as a shock to the film community and longtime fans alike, who had just this month learned that another upcoming Liotta project—the Elizabeth Banks-directed Cocaine Bear—had been given a 2023 release date.
