Liam Neeson may have a very particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career — one of which is intensely intimidating kidnappers over the phone in crime thrillers. And while the actor does master another chat with a villain in ‘A Walk Among the Tombstones’ he assures fans that unlicensed private investigator Matt Scudder is noticeably distinct from Taken’s Bryan Mills . Neeson told The Hollywood Reporter, “It was the opposite of my character in Taken — he’s very vulnerable, quite scared and fearful individual, but still tries to do the right thing.”
