Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors. Liam Neeson was born on 7 June, 1952 and it has Irish origin. He obtained American citizenship and before becoming an actor, he had jobs that were not at all related to that. Among his previous jobs were a lift operator and a truck driver, but it seems that Liam Neeson followed his dream of becoming an actor and he managed. Perhaps this proofs that if you wish something very much, in the end it will happen. The same thing happened with Liam Neeson, too. To manage that, Liam Neeson moved to Hollywood to have more chances to become an actor and he was lucky. One of his first roles were in Of Mice and Men, Excalibur, Nell, The Bounty, The Mission.

He also followed Queen’s University Belfast and played a lot of football, but never had the chance to be part from a great team although he was very talented. Other roles that he portrayed were in films such as Star Wars, Taken, After Life, Chloe. It seems that with each film, his success were getting higher and higher and his career  was more and more in the spotlight. I also like that he was not involved in scandals, but he oriented only toward his career and  family. His personal life remained private and he does not like to give too many details about that. Liam Neeson is a discrete person that built his career due to his fame and not through scandals  and as the main subject of the tabloids. In a world where image is very important and people do anything for that, it seems that Liam Neeson is the exception, but a nice one.

Each film in which Liam Neeson acts, will certainly be a success and people go to cinema only when they find out he is one of the main actors, which is a proof that his popularity has not disappeared. Even today he is pretty old, Liam Neeson did not give up to another artistic projects. His talent has been awarded many times.

Liam Neeson – A Great Actor

Liam Neeson is one of the greatest actors in Hollywood. He is best known for his roles from Schindler’s List, Star Wars, Love Actually and Clash of the Titans. Liam Neeson was born June 7, 1952, in Northern Ireland. At the age of eleven, Liam Neeson stepped on stage for the first time. His English teacher gave him the lead role in a school play, which he accepted because the girl he was attracted to was starring too. From then on, Liam Neeson kept on acting. Liam Neeson’s first acting break came in 1980, when the director John Boorman saw him on stage. He starred in five films in the 1980s, alongside Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins.

Director Steven Spielberg was very impressed with Liam Neeson’s role in Nell and consequently offered him the coveted role of Oskar Schindler in the Holocaust movie, Schindler’s List. Liam Neeson was critically acclaimed and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. In my opinion, this role was one of the best of his career. Schindler’s List established Liam Neeson as a widely sought-after leading actor. The role of Oskar Schindler was perfectly calibrated by Liam Neeson. He transforms the character from a careless man, to a man who dedicates himself to saving more than 1000 lives. The selfishness imprinted on his face is so complete and unyielding that the audience immediately understands the extent to which Schindler is without scruples.

The facial expression of Liam Neeson hardly ever changes until he notices the liquidation of the ghetto.The way Liam Neeson calmly navigates Schindler through the encounters with Amon Goeth, masterfully interpreted by Ralph Fiennes, resembles a benefactor hiding under the guise of a businessman. Liam Neeson understood that Oskar Schindler was not a superhuman, he was just a man who had the vision to see the right thing in times of suffocating darkness, and to do the right thing when the opportunity arises. One thing is for sure, Liam Neeson is a wonderful and talented actor that conveys originality and a lot of feeling to his every role.

Who is Liam Neeson Married To?

Even if you do not know it, you are likely to have seen Liam Neeson in a film. This Irish actor has been in so many fantastic films, and been nominated for Oscars and Baftas left, right and centre throughout his career. He is probably best known for playing Oscar Schindler in the world renowned film Schindler’s List (based on the true story of Oscar Schindler during the Second World War), but has played leading roles in Star Wars 1 (the Phantom Menace), The Chronicles of Narnia and Batman Begins. Indeed, he is possibly one of the best and most iconic British actors to have arisen in the last 50 years.

What is interesting about Liam Neeson is that he has remained relatively detached from, what we would usually consider to be, the celebrity lifestyle. It is very rare that he will appear on television or in magazines; usually only when he is promoting a film that he is in. It is no surprise, therefore, that not many people know about his personal life. Liam Neeson was married to actress Natasha Richardson between 1994 and 2009, when she tragically lost her life in a skiing accident. After a fall and a bang to the head, she appeared to be completely fine and was able to stand, walk and talk normally. After returning to her hotel room she was admitted to hospital 3 hours later complaining of a headache. She went into a critical condition about 7 hours after the fall and died 2 days later.

Merlin and the Sword was one of the first parts that Liam did onscreen and was a good boost for his actor’s status however it was the movie Schindler’s List which gave him worldwide recognition as awards and prestige were placed at his feet. In 1999 the next generation of Star Wars movies came out and even though Liam had a major role his character was killed at the end of the movie which meant he would not be in the next two movies of star wars even though his voice was heard as a ghost. Like many actors of these days Liam played a role as an animated character in the Chronicles of Narnia where he played the main character Aslan the Lion. This year you can see him in another great film from the old series the A-team which is another lead role under his belt.
