Despite his very particular set of skills, Liam Neeson is done with thrillers

Liam Neeson says he's (mostly) finished making thrillers.

In an interview, the actor said that he plans to stop even though it's hard to turn down the lucrative offers he gets thanks to his box-office success in the three Taken films, as well as other thrillers. Liam believes he's simply getting too old to be an action hero.

"The thrillers, that was all a pure accident," he told AP at the Toronto International Film Festival. "They're still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff. I'm like, 'Guys, I'm sixty f---ing five.' Audiences are eventually going to go, 'Come on'."

The father of two still has two upcoming revenge thrillers he's already shot: Hard Powder, in which he plays a snowplow driver who faces off with drug dealers, and The Commuter, with director Jaume Collet-Serra, who also directed Liam in Unknown, Non-Stop, and Run All Night.

But, Liam said, those will be his last.

"I've shot one that's going to come out in January sometime. There might be another. That's it," he said. "But not Taken, none of that franchise stuff."

Instead, he has turned back to dramatic work. His Watergate drama Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House was to premiere Monday evening at the Toronto International Film Festival. In it, he plays the high-ranking FBI official who was the Washington Post's "Deep Throat" source in the scandal.

He has also lined up to co-star in Widows, by Twelve Years a Slave director Steve McQueen. In December, he starred in Martin Scorsese's spiritual epic Silence.
