It's hard to believe that, a decade ago, Liam Neeson was better known for prestige Oscar dramas than high-octane action blockbusters. The Academy Award nominee spent the first 30 years of his career making his name in films such as "Kinsey" (2004), "Rob Roy" (1995) and Steven Spielberg's celebrated "Schindler's List" (1993), only briefly flirting with the world of blockbusters in George Lucas' "Star Wars" prequels. In his mid-50s, however, he launched a second career of sorts with "Taken," the 2008 smash hit that reinvented the actor and spawned a new trend in older action stars.
