* OohMeAccentsSlipping: While a wonderful actor, he might be the poster boy for this trope when attempting anything other than his native Irish. Both he and Creator/HarrisonFord have an especially JustForFun/{{egregious}} case of this in ''Film/K19TheWidowmaker'', which explains that cutaway joke on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' about kids not knowing about sex ed being as lost and confused as Liam Neeson trying to do an American accent.

* DistractedByTheSexy: He needed 57 takes for a scene in ''Third Person'' because he kept getting distracted by Creator/OliviaWilde's naked body.



* FriendToAllLivingThings: Neeson ''loves'' animals, and his treatment of them when working on the set is such that a horse that Neeson had worked with in a previous movie recognized him [[https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/10/horse-really-taken-with-co-star-liam-neeson and made every effort to hang around him]].
* IrishmanAndAJew: In [[http://mag.walla.co.il/item/2818024?page=10 this]] interview, the interviewer says that despite the massive contribution of ''Film/SchindlersList'' to the memory of UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust, Jews still had a lot of complaints about it, because Jews [[JewishComplaining complain constantly]]. Neeson says that the Irish do too, which is why the Jews and the Irish ‘get along so well’.
