Liam Neeson announces retirement from action films
The Irish actor has been appearing on screens since his 1978 debut and has appeared in huge franchises including Star Wars and Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. He has also won a legion of fans for his nail-biting performance as Bryan Mills in the adrenaline fuelled action series Taken, which saw the first outing release in 2008, followed by two sequels in 2012 and 2014. But now he has signalled he is stepping away from the action genre as he eases in to his older years.
