Liam Neeson Trivia
|
- Though he was eager to be a part of The Phantom Menace (the first of the Star Wars prequel trilogy), he reportedly hated working on the film once shooting started, remarking that he "felt like a puppet."
- Son-in-law of actress Vanessa Redgrave and Tony Richardson.
- Has worked together repeatedly with Laura Linney, including in Kinsey (2004), Love Actually (2003), and in a Broadway revival of "The Crucible," having played husband and wife in _Kinsey_ and "The Crucible." The two have joked about feeling like "an old married couple."
- Graduated from the Gaiety School of Drama in Dublin, Ireland.
- Was chosen for the role of Gawain in "Excalibur" primarily because director John Boorman wanted a large man in the role for the duel between Gawain and Lancelot (the late Nicholas Clay). Excalibur is where Neeson met Helen Mirren, who was playing Morgana.
