He rose to international fame with his critically acclaimed leading role in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 Oscar-winning film, <i>Schindler’s List</i>. The film earned him widespread recognition and opened the door to a versatile and enduring acting career in Hollywood.</p>

<h2>Critical Acclaim and Recognition</h2>
<p>Following his breakthrough in <i>Schindler’s List</i>, Neeson appeared in numerous high-profile films spanning various genres, including historical dramas, thrillers, and action franchises. His compelling screen presence and commitment to his roles garnered him fans worldwide. Empire magazine ranked Neeson among both the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History" and "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time," solidifying his status as a major cinematic figure.</p>

<h2>Personal Life and Relationships</h2>
<p>During the early 1980s, Neeson was in a relationship with actress Helen Mirren, whom he met while working together on the 1981 film <i>Excalibur</i>. In an interview with James Lipton on <i>Inside the Actors Studio</i>, Neeson mentioned that Mirren was instrumental in helping him secure an agent early in his career.</p>

<p>In 1993, while performing in a Broadway revival of <i>Anna Christie</i>, Neeson met actress Natasha Richardson. The couple married on July 3, 1994. Interestingly, they had first worked together in the 1984 television miniseries <i>Ellis Island</i>. In August 2004, they purchased an estate in Millbrook, New York, where they resided with their two sons, Micheál (born in 1995) and Daniel (born in 1996).</p>

<p>Tragically, Richardson passed away on March 18, 2009, after sustaining a severe head injury during a skiing accident at the Mont Tremblant resort in Quebec, Canada.

When cast as Hannibal Smith in the 2010 adaptation of <i>The A-Team</i>, he initially hesitated to smoke cigars on screen due to his status as an ex-smoker, yet ultimately decided to preserve that characteristic in his portrayal.</p>
