The 65-year-old actor may have impressed with his role in the 2008 hit 'Taken', in which he played a former government operative trying to reconnect with his daughter, and have a string of successful movies under his belt, but he has decided to step away from playing an action hero - despite bosses approaching him with mega deals. Audiences are eventually going to go, 'Come on.' And it's not just Neeson who has been thinking longer and harder about what films he takes on as Colin Firth is adamant he'd never transition into action movies because he doesn't think he'd make a "believable" hero.
