Liam Neeson

Often takes roles in which he is a mentor/trainer/father figure to a younger man, as in, for example, Batman Begins (2005), Le crociate - Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Gangs of New York (2002), and Star Wars: Episodio I - La minaccia fantasma (1999). His character often dies early in the film and/or the student's life so that the young man can apply the Neeson character's lessons to his own ongoing struggle.
