Liam Neeson is one of the most versatile actors in film. From his early smaller roles to his breakout success in historical dramas and large-scale blockbusters, Neeson has made his mark in nearly every genre. The Irish actor has played key historical figures including freedom fighters and scientists, and he’s been a pivotal presence in franchises like Star Wars and The Chronicles of Narnia. In the later part of his career, he’s become a go-to action star in lean, propulsive B-movies, including the Taken series.
