Liam Neeson talks about Marlowe, doing action scenes, and more details
On a lighthearted note, Jimmy Fallon asked Liam Neeson what he learned from his action movies, to which Neeson said he could teach him how to throw a fake punch. The two then staged an act wherein Neeson enacted a scene in which he punched Fallon.
During the interview, Liam Neeson also spoke about a scene from Marlowe wherein he improvised a line. He mentioned,
''Yeah, we did the little scene. And I have to pick up my hat, and there's quite a distance to the door. And I thought, 'That's too long a pause. I have to say something. So I thought, 'I'll shake my hand and say, 'I'm getting too old for this.' And the director, Neil (Jordan), said, 'Oh, keep that in. I like that.''
Neeson's portrayal of protagonist Philip Marlowe has received mostly positive reviews from viewers and critics. Apart from Marlowe, Neeson has been a part of several critically acclaimed and popular films and shows over the years, including the iconic Taken movie series, Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List, Gangs of New York, and many more.
