Or he will look for you, he will find you and he will kill you. Just kidding! But the Irish actor does serve as a spokesperson for [Discover Ireland’s](http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/liam-neeson-narrates-gorgeous-tourism-ad-ireland-timed-st-patricks-day-163498) latest (very non-violent) ad. “Every year, on St. Patrick’s Day, the world goes green,” Neeson narrates over pictures of the Leaning Tower of Pisa lit up in grassy hues. “But here in Ireland, every day is bathed in green.” Cue the images of four leaf clover fields. Neeson can add “convincing spokesperson” to the “particular set of skills” section of his resume. _Read next:_ [_Nine Irish Photographers You Need to Follow_](http://time.com/3726459/nine-irish-photographers-you-need-to-follow/?iid=time%5Freadnext) ### 5\. Taken  20th Century Fox Obviously, _Taken_ was going to be Liam Neeson’s most badass Liam Neeson movie. It was the original (at least for Liam Neeson) and probably won’t ever be topped. The best part about _Taken_ — and let’s be honest, there are many best parts — is the ease with which he just obliterates everyone in his path, rarely taking any sort of damage or detours on his route to triumph and vengeance. This is truly Liam Neeson at his peak Liam Neeson, the standard by which all other Liam Neeson movies will forever be judged. ### 4\. Non-Stop  Myles Aronowitz—Universal Think of this one as _Snakes on a Plane_, except instead of snakes, there are terrorists, and instead of Samuel L. Jackson playing the Liam Neeson role, Liam Neeson is playing the Liam Neeson role. Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) plays an air marshall who not only has a special set of skills but is also an alcoholic (fortunately, the latter seems to not affect the former). Though he has to work against rogue colleagues, the aforementioned terrorists, and an entire plane that hates him because he’s an enormous jerk, he still manages to save the day and score a date with Julianne Moore. Not bad for a day’s work. ### 3\. The Grey  Universal Truth be told, this is probably the least pure Liam Neeson-y of the various Liam Neeson roles that Liam Neeson has played in a Liam Neeson movie. On the one hand, Ottway (Liam Neeson) fights a bunch of rabid wolves with his bare hands (and bare hands with shards of glass sticking out of them to boot), but on the other, he doesn’t seem to have quite as many special skills as some his other Liam Neeson roles. Oh and — spoiler alert! — he almost definitely dies at the end. Fighting wolves with one’s bare hands is still pretty badass. ### 2\. Taken 2  20th Century Fox The Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) of the first _Taken_ would have known to remain constantly vigilant at all times — both for himself and for his family — seeing as how the entire Albanian mob was seeking some return vengeance upon him for killing dozens of their confederates in the first flick. That said, the taking of his ex-wife gives Bryan the opportunity to kill a whole bunch of new henchmen in some quintessentially Liam Neeson ways. ### 1\. Unknown  Warner Bros. Honestly, as far as Liam Neeson movie protagonists go, Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) wasn’t exactly the _most_ badass. He gets better as the movie goes on, to be sure, but there’s no way that Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) from _Taken_ would have allowed himself to be in a car accident, let alone allowed it to result in a coma. He even needs help from an accomplice to avoid being killed on numerous occasions, and seems to have “odds” that need to be overcome. That’s not very Liam Neeson-y of him.
