1. Liam Neeson (62)
Liam Neeson was no stranger to action movies before Taken took his career in a startling new direction. After all, he had appeared in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Batman Begins before that action-packed project came along.
It was Taken which changed Neeson’s career, and a very long list of roles in the genre have followed, transforming him into one of Hollywood’s most reliable and beloved action stars in the process. Some have been better than others that’s for sure, but it’s been tremendous fun to see Neeson change everyone’s perceptions of him over the past few years.
The actor claims that he’ll be giving up the genre in a couple of years, but it’s hard to say why he would when he’s looking better than ever.
