Neeson's "Love Actually" character, Daniel, was grieving for his recently-deceased wife, but put his efforts into helping his son, Sam, find true love.
Tragically, life imitated art when in 2009 his wife, Natasha Richardson, died after suffering a head injury after a skiing accident. Neeson, 71, starred in action films "Taken" and as Ra's Al Ghul in "Batman Begins". His acting has been routed in the action genre, most recently starring in "Retribution" in 2023.
