He set teaching aside and in 1976 joined the prestigious Lyric Players Theatre in Belfast ("The best training any actor could have."), making his professional acting debut in Joseph Plunkett's The Risen People. The Irish-born actor had originally sought a career as a teacher after attending Queens University, Belfast and majoring in physics, computer science and maths. Whether it's his Academy Award ® nominated role of Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's Academy Award ® winning film Schindler's List (1993), his award- winning portrayal of legendary Irish Republican hero in Michael Collins (1996) for which he received Best Actor honors at the Venice Film Festival, a Golden Globe ® Best Actor nomination, and London's prestigious Evening Standard Award for Best Actor, or his role as controversial sex therapist Alfred Kinsey in the critically acclaimed Kinsey (2004), Neeson continues to display an acting range matched by few.
Neeson has become one of the leading international motion picture actors today. Liam Neeson stars as the central figure in Writer/Director Paul Haggis's ensemble drama THIRD PERSON. Rick's current girlfriend SAM (Loan Chabanol) is a compassionate onlooker. Julia's lawyer THERESA (Maria Bello) has secured Julia one final chance to change the court's mind and be reunited with the child she loves. With her support cut off and her legal costs ruinous, Julia is reduced to working as a maid in the same upscale boutique hotel where she was once a frequent guest. JULIA (Mila Kunis), an ex-soap opera actress, is caught in a custody battle for her 6 year-old son with her ex-husband RICK (James Franco), a famous New York artist. They take off together for a dangerous town in Southern Italy, where Scott starts to suspect that he is the patsy in an elaborate con game. When the money she has saved to pay her daughter's smuggler is stolen, Scott feels compelled to help.
There, he meets MONIKA (Moran Atias), a beautiful Roma woman, who is about to be reunited with her young daughter. Hating everything Italian, Scott wanders into the "Café Americano" in search of something familiar to eat. He recently left his wife, ELAINE (Kim Basinger), and is having a tempestuous affair with ANNA (Olivia Wilde), an ambitious young journalist who wants to write and publish fiction.Īt the same time, SCOTT (Adrien Brody), a shady American businessman, is in Italy to steal designs from fashion houses. MICHAEL (Liam Neeson) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning fiction author who has holed himself up in a hotel suite in Paris to finish his latest book. The tales play out in New York, Paris and Rome: three couples who appear to have nothing related but share deep commonalities: lovers and estranged spouses, children lost and found.Īs Writer/Director Haggis puts it: "In any relationship there is always a third person perhaps not romantically, perhaps not even consciously, but present in some form." At its heart, THIRD PERSON is much more than a collection of love stories – it is a mystery, a puzzle in which truth is revealed in glimpses, and clues are caught by the corner of the eye – and nothing is truly what it seems. THIRD PERSON tells three stories of love, passion, trust and betrayal, in a multi-strand story line reminiscent of Paul Haggis's earlier Oscar-winning film Crash.
