Liam Neeson (born 7 June 1952) is a Northern Irish actor.
He was born William John Neeson and raised Catholic in overwhelmingly Protestant and Unionist Ballymena, County Antrim, Northern Ireland (home of Ian Paisley). He was a former youth boxing champion and stands 6'4". He has made numerous films and a hit single, and has been called the world's most attractive man. High-profile appearances include the lead roles in Schindler's List, Rob Roy and Michael Collins (with fellow Irish actor Aidan Quinn), Star Wars: the Phantom Menace as Qui-Gon Jinn, and in Batman Begins (starring Christian Bale) as Henri Ducard.
Neeson was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for Schindler's List in 1993, but lost to Tom Hanks' performance in Philadelphia. He was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in her New Year's Honours List, 1999.
He has been married to Natasha Richardson, daughter of Tony Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave, since 3 July 1994, and is the father of two sons, Michιal and Daniel, who are being raised Catholic. The family home is in exurban Millbrook, New York, where his visiting grandmother-in-law, Lady Rachel Kempson Redgrave died in 2003 of a stroke.
His next film will be directed by Steven Spielberg and have him star as Abraham Lincoln. There have been rumors that Neeson will play Pope John Paul II in a CBS mini-series. CBS has confirmed that Neeson is in talks.
He voiced the role of a kindly priest on The Simpsons who converts (at least temporarily) Bart and Homer, who reveals: "Once you go Vatican, you never go back again".
