He is Liam Neeson...


i dedicate this to Mr.Liam Neeson whose charm has enchanted me...He leaves me breathless...Anyway,i have heard about his magnificent name since i was a high school student but, i didn't even think about him. I thought he was an ordinary Hollywood actor. However, when a friend gave me files of his films i am totally in a deep amazement. My friends told me that he is a old actor but i don't care...he is very superb...Yeah,, i am in love with him...(my boyfriend will be mad at me...hahahhaha,sorry hunny...i don't mean to cheat but he's very irresistible).He has wonderful hazel eyes,,brown hair and he is very tall...

He is an Irish born actor,he was born in Ballymena, County Antrim, and educated there and at Queen's University Belfast. He moved to Dublin after university to further his acting career, joining the renowned Abbey Theatre. After leaving the university, Neeson returned to Ballymena and worked in a variety of casual jobs, from fork-lift operator at Guinness to truck driver. He also worked at a teacher-training college in Newcastle for two years before again returning to his home-town. Neeson would get his first film experience in 1978, playing Jesus Christ and Evangelist in the religious film, Pilgrim's Progress directed by Ken Anderson. Following a bet from co-workers at the architects' office where he worked, Neeson successfully auditioned at the Lyric Players' Theatre in Belfast,[11] appearing in successful adaptations of plays such as Brian Friel's Translations. After two years there, Neeson moved to Dublin in 1978 after he was offered a part in a production at the Project Arts Centre. The play was Ron Hutchinson's "Says I, Says He", a drama about The Troubles in Northern Ireland. Neeson acted in several other Project productions and joined the Abbey Theatre in 1978. In 1980, film-maker John Boorman saw him on stage, acting as Lennie Small in Of Mice and Men, and offered him the part of Sir Gawain in the upcoming Arthurian movie, Excalibur. After Excalibur, Neeson moved to London, where he continued working on stage, small budget movies and TV series. He lived with the actress Helen Mirren at this time, whom he met working on Excalibur.[12] Between 1982 and 1987, Neeson starred in five films; most notably alongside Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins in 1984's The Bounty and Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons in 1986's The Mission.

In 1987, Neeson made a conscious decision to move to Hollywood in order to star in high-profile roles.[12] That year, he starred alongside Cher and Dennis Quaid in Suspect. The role brought Neeson critical applause, but it was 1990's Darkman that would bring his name to public attention. Although the film was successful, Neeson's following years would not give him the same recognition. In 1993, he joined Ellis Island co-star and future wife Natasha Richardson in the Broadway play Anna Christie. (They also worked together in Nell, released the following year.) Director Steven Spielberg, impressed by his performance, offered him the coveted role of Oskar Schindler in the film about the Holocaust, Schindler's List.[13] His critically acclaimed performance later earned him a nomination for a Best Actor Oscar; however, the award went to Tom Hanks for his performance in Philadelphia. Neeson also garnered BAFTA and Golden Globes nominations for Schindler's List.

Schindler's List established Neeson as a widely sought after leading actor. He later starred in period pieces Rob Roy (1995) and Michael Collins (1996), the latter earning him another Golden Globe nomination and a win for Best Starring Role at the Venice Film Festival. Neeson went on to star as Jean Valjean in the 1998 adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables and in The Haunting (1999) as Dr. David Marrow.

For his personal life, he married Natasha Richardson (1994-2009), now he is widower and lives with two sons in New York.I think he is a loyal and loving person...He loves his wife...Therefore, i love him very much...
