INT: Liam Neeson

When JoBlo.com asked me to interview the cast of upcoming action thriller TAKEN, I was more than excited at the prospect of meeting one of my favorite actors, Liam Neeson. The distinguished and handsome Irishman has displayed an incredibly magnetic on-screen presence in several highly acclaimed films like SCHINDLER’S LIST, MICHAEL COLLINS and KINSEY. I remember being instantly smitten, when I first saw him in SATISFACTION. Up next, Neeson proves he’s got the acting chops to take on a physically challenging role, in which he kicks some serious ass.

Written-produced by action-thriller aficionado Luc Besson and directed by Pierre Morel, who helmed DISTRICT 13, TAKEN is one big adrenaline rush from beginning to end. The rousing story is based on a former government operative played by Neeson, who must find his daughter after she’s kidnapped, while vacationing in Paris. Last week, I finally had the pleasure of sitting down with the captivating actor, to chat about his thoughts and experiences in making this film. Check out what Neeson had to say about his soon to be released vigilante film.
