Action Icon Profile: Liam Neeson


Profession: Actor
Born: June 7, 1952
Birth Name: Liam John Neeson

Career Summary:
Liam Neeson is an actor who has tackled nearly every genre and type of character in film. His roles have ranged all over the place. Throughout his expansive career, Neeson has occasionally tackled an action role in several films including Darkman, Rob Roy, and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. It wasn't until 2008 when Neeson obtained action icon status with his performance as Bryan Mills in his definitive action film, Taken. Since than, Liam Neeson has become a meme of his own on the internet. People joke that there is something wrong with any scene involving Liam Neeson where he isn't killing people.
