Liam Neeson is an actor from Northern Ireland. Neeson rose to prominence when he starred in the title role in Steven Spielberg's 1993 Oscar winner Schindler's List. He has since starred in many other successful films, including Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999). In more recent years, Neeson has starred in the action thriller series Taken (2008–15). He has been nominated for a number of awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Neeson and his family are New Yorkers. In 2009, Neeson revealed on ABC's Good Morning America that he had recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen. Interviewer Diane Sawyer asked Neeson how he and the boys had been getting along since Natasha Richardson's death. Neeson responded:

"I'm still getting extraordinary condolence letters from American people, that's deeply, deeply touching. And that's partly the reason why I've recently become an American citizen. I've been living here for 20 years and America's been very, very good to me. I'm still a proud Irishman, of course, but I've become an American citizen and I'm very proud of that."
