Liam Neeson

Often takes roles in which he is a mentor/trainer/father figure to a younger man, as in, for example, Batman Begins (2005), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Gangs of New York (2002), and Star Wars, épisode I : La Menace fantôme (1999). His character often dies early in the film and/or the student's life so that the young man can apply the Neeson character's lessons to his own ongoing struggle.
