Liam Neeson – British, Irish and American citizenship

William Neeson is a Northern Irish actor with dual citizenship in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Born in Ireland, the actor worked as an actor in the United Kingdom before moving to Hollywood in the late 1980s. In 2009, he became a US citizen. When he first began performing in the United States, he had some difficulties. Casting directors would congratulate him, but they would request that he change his accent. Neeson, on the other hand, remains true to his Irish roots. He narrated the video for Ireland’s proposal to host the Rugby World Cup in 2023.

He has been the recipient of multiple award nominations, including an Academy Award for Best Director, three Golden Globe Awards, and a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Neeson also gets credit as the seventh actor on The Irish Times’ list of Ireland’s greatest film actors in 2020.
