Well that sucks.

A quick look at google news about his passing shows pretty much every story leads by mentioning his role in Goodfellas, despite his abundant body of work.

I guess if you're going to forever by typecast by a role in a movie, at least let it be a fantastic movie like Goodfellas.

That sucks, no age to die.

He had a brief leading moment after Goodfellas, but most of those films were unremarkable and he just settled for a career in supporting roles. He's been in more good films that people realize. I'd say his other best roles were in Copland and Narc. He also has that "I'm eating your brain" in Hannibal.

IMDB lists him with 126(!) acting credits, and that he is still working steadily.

He carried the lead pretty well in that movie about the prison island with the guys wearing bamboo hats.

Prison island, bamboo hats.  That's all you need if you've seen it.

And while I would not call it happy news, but in less-sad news:

Ripudaman Singh Malik, allegedly involved in the 1985 Air India bombing that killed 331 people, was shot and killed last night in Surrey in what police described as a "targeted shooting".

Malik and 2 others were involved in a multi-year trial that concluded in 2005.  Malik was acquitted, although far from exonerated (judge found witnesses who heard Malik confess to have questionable reliability, and thus Crown didn't prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt).
