Liam Neeson
Back in the ‘90s, “Taken” star Liam Neeson was given the opportunity to audition for Bond in “Goldeneye.” According to Neeson, his wife Natasha Richardson urged him not to take on the role, and he ultimately decided that he didn’t really want to be an action star anyway. Something must have changed at some point along the way, as Neeson is now synonymous with violent action (although not currently in a good way).
