His long and multi-faceted career started out with character actor work in films like ''Film/{{Excalibur}}'', ''Film/TheBounty'' (as a mutinous sailor) and ''Film/TheDeadPool''. He graduated to leading man status with comic book horror adaptation ''Darkman''. His later career has taken him from serious drama (as Oskar Schindler in ''Film/SchindlersList'' and Dr. Jerome Lovell in ''Film/{{Nell}}'') to fantasy (Zeus in ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|2010}}'' and the voice of Aslan in ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'') to action (Bryan Mills in ''Film/{{Taken}}'') to Sci-Fi (Qui-Gon Jinn in ''Franchise/StarWars Episode I: Film/ThePhantomMenace''), to historical film (''Film/RobRoy'', ''Film/MichaelCollins''). Animated characters that Neeson voiced include Fujimoto, the dad of the eponymous character in ''Anime/{{Ponyo}}'', and Bad Cop/Good Cop, in ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'', and The Monster in ''Literature/AMonsterCalls''. Also said to have been the inspiration behind Captain Carrot of ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fame. In recent years, Neeson seems to have replaced the late Creator/SeanConnery as Hollywood's go-to-actor for playing TheMentor and the CoolOldGuy.

Also, for the record, he doesn't look like his photo anymore. But we like to keep it there. Looks close enough, though...
