About this episode
The episode explores Liam Neeson's early career and his roles in various films before he became a household name.
Before he was Frank Drebin, before he had a special set of skills, before he was Schindler, tall Irish actor Liam Neeson already had a decade plus in the biz. The men he played were always tall, but not always Irish, and that's where the trouble began. NEXT OF KIN (1989, John Irvin) UNDER SUSPICION (1991, Simon Moore) RUBY CAIRO aka DECEPTION (1992, Graeme Clifford)
