“It’s my hundredth film. It feels weird. Where have the years gone? I’ve been blessed. I’ve been really lucky.”
Has Liam Neeson just been lucky? Well, it seems any successful actor has a degree of luck in the fickle movie business – right time; right place; or having a director seeing something in them at the right moment (eg Steven Spielberg casting him in Schindler’s List after seeing a semi-naked Neeson hug Spielberg’s mother-in-law backstage at a Broadway show. Spielberg said “it’s the kind of thing Oskar Schindler would have done.). But then there is hard work, of putting yourself in those ‘lucky’ situations as much as you can – and the very fact that he has been in 100 films is testament to his commitment.
