in, and he has a role as Daniel, a man who just lost his wife and has to take care of his stepson that his wife Joanna left him with Love Actually. Several of these characters are mentors to the main character who die at some point in the film. He has also voiced the role of a kindly priest on The Simpsons who converted Bart and Homer to Catholicism. In a recent hosting appearance on Saturday Night Live, he very convincingly played an aging hippie trying to borrow a police dog so he can find where he put his "stash".
His performance as Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List earned him very wide acclaim as well as an Academy Award nomination in 1993, but the award went to Tom Hanks for his performance in Philadelphia.
As of 2006, Neeson's next film appearance will be in the American Civil War epic Seraphim Falls with Pierce Brosnan and Angelica Huston. He is also set to star as Abraham Lincoln in a film directed by Steven Spielberg.
Neeson was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in her 1999 New Year's Honours List.
