This guy's great! He's performances and big roles, makes their own talk. A few actors have starred in movie-franchises such as the ones Liam has been in. Batman Begins, Star Wars episode one.. Theres is nothing this actor can't do.. Middleage movies like Kingdom of Heaven, As the God Zeus in Clash of the Titans, Qui-don in Star Wars or the hard hitter Bryan Mills, in one of my personal-favorite "Taken".. But he's biggest and most influential role, must be as Oscar Schindler in "Schindlers List", how he didn't, like he's co-starring colleague Ralph Fiennes, won an oscar, nobody understands.

I love his portrait of Dexter Morgan, in the TV-show Dexter, outside his this sweet guy who works at Miami homicuide as a forensic expert, but inside he's a serial killer who hunts down people whom he believe they have escaped justice.. He is dangerous but loveable at the same time... just a brilliant actor!
He also plays Ken Castle in Gamer, the owner of a mind-controlling game, where death row convicts are forced to battle for their lives.
Dexter - 10/10
Gamer - 6/10
