Liotta became a familiar face on daytime TV by starring on AW as Joey Perrini from 1978 to 1981.

From there, he starred in films like Operation Dumbo Drop, Hannibal, and Bee Movie.
Newark, New Jersey native Liotta earned a 2005 Emmy Award for his appearance on E.R. and received two SAG Award nods for the miniseries Texas Rising and TV film The Rat Pack, respectively. In recent years, Liotta starred in hits like Shades of Blue, The Many Saints of Newark, Marriage Story, and Hanna.
Liotta is survived by his fiancée, Jacy Nittolo, and his daughter with ex-wife Michelle Grace, 23-year-old Karsen.
