Raymond Allen Liotta (born Raymond Julian Vicimarli, December 18, 1954) is an American actor, film producer, and voice actor.
He is known for his roles as Henry Hill in the 1990 crime drama film Goodfellas; Shoeless Joe Jackson in the 1989 sports film Field of Dreams; and Ray Sinclair in Jonathan Demme's Something Wild (1986), Liotta's second feature film, for which he received a Golden Globe nomination and won the Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actor. He has since become a well-regarded screen personality, appearing in leading or supporting roles in films such as Unlawful Entry (1992), No Escape (1994), Narc (2002), Wild Hogs (2007), Killing Them Softly (2012) and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014).
Liotta was born in Newark, New Jersey, and adopted at the age of six months by Mary Liotta, an appointed township clerk, and Alfred Liotta, an auto-parts store owner, personnel director, and the president of a local Democratic club. His adoptive parents both unsuccessfully ran for local office. He has a sister, Linda Liotta, who is also adopted.
Liotta has said he knew he was adopted as a young child and did a show-and-tell report on it for kindergarten. Liotta located his biological mother in the 2000s. His adoptive parents were of Italian and Scottish ancestry. After research and talks with his biological mother, he learned he is part Scottish. He has one half brother, five half sisters, and a full sister.
