Liam Neeson has become the go-to actor for playing older action heroes driven by loss or desperation. His role in Taken turned him into a late-career action star, and he has played similar characters ever since. Neeson brings a calm and serious energy to these roles, which makes them feel grounded and believable. Films like The Grey and Non-Stop show him fighting against impossible odds.
