To say that Liam Neeson has an impressive career is certainly an understatement. The actor has managed to boost his own iconic persona with films like Taken, A Walk Among the Tombstones, The Grey, and even playing Qui-Gon Jinn in the Star Wars universe. As well, the actor has managed to take a few chances with films like Kinsey, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Silence, A Monster Calls, and so much more. His latest feature called The Ice Road may take him down slightly familiar action territory, but this time it's mostly the trucks crashing into things and the actor owns every scene he is in. The Netflix thriller, directed by Jonathan Hensleigh, also stars Laurence Fishburne, Amber Midthunder, Marcus Thomas, Holt McCallany, Matt McCoy, and more. And if you're ready for some vehicular mayhem, you can head on over to The Ice Road this Friday and check it out for yourself.
I've had the pleasure of speaking to Liam Neeson before. And yes, it truly is a pleasure to chat with the soft-spoken and thoughtful performer. Liam opened up about what appealed to him with the new film, and part of that came from working with his co-stars Fishburne, Midthunder, and Thomas. The actor also talked about what he calls the real stars of the movie, working with those massive trucks. And finally, at the end of the interview, like many of us, he gave the sign that he's ready for some in-person connecting as opposed to just chatting online. It's always a joy to speak to this man. Mr. Neeson is a genuinely kind, and truly charismatic actor, and he gives the new film his all. Check out The Ice Road this Friday on Netflix, and we'll bring you our conversations with his co-stars later this week.
