10 Top Class Actors In Desperate Need Of A Hit

Liam Neeson faces a similar issue to Johnny Depp, in that a significant factor behind his recent career decline has likely been the star's high-profile problems in his personal life. For Neeson, this came in the form of a disastrously impulsive interview where he confessed some unsavoury aspects of his past. However, the star of Schindler's List was still wavering in his career before this, and thus we can assume that his star-power would still be fading even had the interview not taken place.

The last big film that Neeson was involved with seems to be the conclusion to the Taken trilogy back in 2014. Excluding that his only notable appearances are within The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Men in Black: International. While the former of those films was an enjoyable outing, the latter was incredibly poorly received and has done irreparable damage to the Men in Black property.

Neeson is a very dignified and respected performer, and one of the ways that he can return to this sense of prestige could be in the hands of a hit movie.
