Happy birthday Liam Neeson! See photos of the actor throughout the years here.
Liam Neeson has remained one of Hollywood’s most enduring leading men for decades. Born on June 7, 1952, in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, the actor began his career on stage before steadily building a résumé across film and television throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. His breakthrough came in 1993 when he portrayed Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg‘s acclaimed drama Schindler’s List, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and establishing himself as a major star.
In the years that followed, Neeson showcased his versatility with roles in films such as Michael Collins, Love Actually, Batman Begins, and the Star Wars prequel trilogy. He later reinvented himself as an action star with the blockbuster Taken franchise, which spawned multiple sequels and introduced him to a new generation of fans. More recently, he has continued to headline films while expanding into comedy, including starring turns in the Naked Gun reboot and other projects.
Liam was married to actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her tragic death in 2009. The couple shared two sons, Micheál and Daniel, and Neeson has frequently spoken about the lasting impact Richardson had on his life.
