VIDEO : Liam Neeson Calls ?Taken? An ?Accident? That He Thought Would Go Straight To Video

Celebrity in this news:

Liam Neeson has the ideal career.

He gets to fight wolves and beat up bad guys, and also star in prestige projects from Martin Scorsese, the Coen Brothers, and Steve McQueen.

He?s been doing that balancing act since the 1990s, when he went from Schindler?s List to Star Wars: Episode I ? The Phantom Menace a few years later.

According to Uproxx, Neeson solidified himself as one of Hollywood?s go-to action movie stars with Taken, which he now calls an ?accident.?

?I never focused on, ?Oh, I?d love to do action movies.? It wasn?t really on my periphery,? Neeson confessed.

?I read [it] and just thought, ?This would be great; just hang out with stuntmen every day and beat guys up.? I did think it would be straight-to-video, and that was no problem.?

Instead, Taken made over $220 million at the box office and spawned two sequels, a television series, and a memorable Key and Peele sketch.
