FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS, 03/13/2020 - LIAM NEESON

For the month of March, the Television Crossover Hall of Fame is celebrating the League of Themselves, those fictional televersions of people from the Trueniverse played by those people from the Trueniverse and not played by other actors.  Some early inductees into the Hall for playing themselves include Bob Hope, George Burns, Milton Berle, Jerry Seinfeld, and Dr Joyce Brothers.  Buzz Aldrin is a rare case – inducted as himself and as a multiversal portrayed by several actors.

Next Wednesday is St. Patrick’s Day, so in keeping with that addition to the theme, the Friday Hall of Famers is inducting a member of the League of Themselves from the Old Sod….

LIAM NEESON!

From Wikipedia:
Liam John Neeson OBE (born 7 June 1952) is a Northern Irish actor. He has been nominated for a number of awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actor, a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and three Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. Empire magazine ranked Neeson among both the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History" and "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time".

In 1976, Neeson joined the Lyric Players' Theatre in Belfast for two years. He then acted in the Arthurian film “Excalibur” (1981). Between 1982 and 1987, Neeson starred in five films, most notably alongside Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins in “The Bounty” (1984), and Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons in “The Mission” (1986). He landed a leading role alongside Patrick Swayze in “Next of Kin” (1989).

Neeson rose to prominence when he starred as Oskar Schindler in “Schindler's List” (1993). He has since starred in other successful films, including the drama “Nell” (1994), the historical biopic “Michael Collins” (1996), the 1998 film adaptation of Victor Hugo's “Les Misérables”, the epic space opera “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” (1999), the biographical drama “Kinsey” (2004), the superhero film “Batman Begins” (2005), the action thriller series “Taken” (2008–2014), the survival film “The Grey” (2011), and the historical drama “Silence” (2016). He also provided the voices of Aslan in “The Chronicles of Narnia” trilogy (2005–2010) and the titular monster in “A Monster Calls” (2016).

Ari then notices Liam in the other lane, in his car, also waiting for the green light to come up. When Ari calls out to Liam, Liam coldly exclaims "Go fuck yourself, Ari." Ari calmly suggests Liam forgive and forget, but an unmoved Liam shows Ari the middle finger and then drives off. Ari then shouts out, "Hey, Schindler! Leave no Jew behind"; a joke based on Ari being Jewish and Liam's acclaimed performance as Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist and Nazi Party member, who saved 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust.
