Ray Liotta of NBC's Shades of Blue

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Ray Liotta of NBC's Shades of Blue.

ay Liotta plays Lt. Matt Wozniak on the NBC drama "Shades of Blue."

Liotta started his career with a Golden Globe-nominated performance in Jonathan Demme's "Something Wild" and followed that by co-starring opposite Tom Hulce in "Dominick and Eugene." He's also known for the iconic role of Shoeless Joe Jackson in the Oscar-nominated film "Field of Dreams."
 
But perhaps the role that brought Liotta his most widespread acclaim was his portrayal of real-life mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese's epic movie "Goodfellas," starring opposite Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. His performance helped the film earn a Best Picture nomination and solidified Liotta's status with critics and the public alike.

Liotta continued to create notable performances in films such as "Cop Land," opposite Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel for director James Mangold; "Hannibal," opposite Anthony Hopkins for director Ridley Scott; "Heartbreakers," co-starring Sigourney Weaver; and "Blow," opposite Johnny Depp.

Liotta won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama in 2005 for a memorable appearance on "ER." He also earned a SAG Award nomination for Male Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries for the 1998 HBO telepic "The Rat Pack," in which he played Frank Sinatra.
