Liam Neeson is an award-winning actor, who has been internationally recognized for his work in both major studio blockbusters and acclaimed independent features. He most recently starred opposite Christina Ricci in "After Life," which involves a young woman caught between life and death and a funeral director who appears to have the gift of transitioning the dead; opposite Diane Kruger and January Jones in the psychological thriller about stolen identity titled "Unknown" as Dr. Martin Harris; Paul Haggis' "The Next Three Days," as an ex-con opposite Russell Crowe; "The A-Team," the remake of the popular TV series, alongside Bradley Cooper and Jessica Biel; and the Warner Bros' remake of the 1981 film "Clash of the Titans" (2010) as Zeus. A sequel of the latter film is currently in the works for release in 2012. 2009 saw the debut of the BBC film "Five Minutes of Heaven" which received rave reviews at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
He has been honored for his depictions of three very different real-life figures. Neeson received Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award nominations for his performance as Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's 1993 Oscar-winning Best Picture "Schindler's List." Three years later, he played the title role in Neil Jordan's biopic "Michael Collins," earning another Golden Globe nomination and winning an Evening Standard British Film Award and the 1996 Venice Film Festival's Volpi Cup for his impassioned portrayal of the Irish Republican hero. In 2004, Neeson starred as controversial sex researcher Alfred Kinsey in Bill Condon's "Kinsey," for which he garnered his third Golden Globe nomination and an Independent Spirit Award nomination, and won a Los Angeles Film Critics Award.
More recently, Liam Neeson starred in the hit thriller "Taken," the independent film "Chloe," directed by Atom Egoyan, and in the indie "After.Life." In addition, Liam Neeson's distinctive voice was heard in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," reprising the role of Aslan, which he previously played in the "Chronicles of Narnia" films, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and "Prince Caspian."
Neeson is also well known to film fans for his work in two blockbuster film franchises: playing the role of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in "Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace," and the enigmatic Henri Ducard in Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins."
Born in Ireland, Neeson began acting in 1976 with the Lyric Players Theatre in Belfast, and made his professional debut in Joseph Plunkett's "The Risen People." After two years, he joined the famed repertory company of Dublin's Abbey Theatre, appearing in their production of Brian Friel's "Translations." He later won a Best Actor award for his performance in Sean O'Casey's "The Plough and the Stars" at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, England.
In 1980, director John Boorman spotted Neeson playing Lennie in John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men," and cast him in the Arthurian epic feature "Excalibur." During that decade, Neeson played a wide range of characters in such films as Roger Donaldson's "The Bounty"; Roland Joffe's "The Mission"; "Lamb," in the title role; Andrei Konchalovsky's "Duet for One"; "A Prayer for the Dying"; Peter Yates' "Suspect"; "The Good Mother"; and "High Spirits," which marked his first collaboration with director Neil Jordan.
Neeson's later film work includes starring roles in a long list of titles, including Sam Raimi's "Darkman"; "Crossing the Line"; "Under Suspicion"; Woody Allen's "Husbands and Wives"; John Madden's "Ethan Frome," playing the title role; Michael Apted's "Nell," with Jodie Foster and Natasha Richardson; "Rob Roy," portraying the title character; Barbet Schroeder's "Before and After," opposite Meryl Streep; "Les Miserables"; Kathryn Bigelow's "K-19: The Widowmaker"; Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York"; Richard Curtis' ensemble hit "Love Actually"; Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven"; and Neil Jordan's "Breakfast on Pluto."
Throughout his career, Neeson has returned to the stage. He made his Broadway debut in the 1993 revival of Eugene O'Neill's "Anna Christie," for which he garnered a Tony Award nomination. In 1998, he played Oscar Wilde in David Hare's play "The Judas Kiss," which opened in London's West End and subsequently moved to Broadway. He returned to Broadway in 2002 to play Proctor in Sir Richard Eyre's acclaimed production of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," opposite Laura Linney, earning a second Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk Award nomination.
