If anyone at the still-bustling film festival deserves to take a break at the Fairmont Royal York's Library Bar, it's Ray Liotta. The actor told USA TODAY he is promoting three movies here this year. The star of 1990's Goodfellas is in one of the hot acquistion titles at the fest: The Place Beyond the Pines, in which he plays a corrupt cop opposite Ryan Gosling's motorcycle stunt rider. It was picked up for distribution by Focus Features and should be out in 2o13.

Then there is The Iceman, a Mafia thriller. Plus, Yellow, about a female drug addict, which Liotta calls "the weird one." On top of that fest fare, he appears in the crime drama Killing Them Softly starring Brad Pitt that opens Oct. 19.

That's a lotta Liotta.
