After graduating from Queen's University Belfast with a degree in Physics and Computer Science, Neeson worked a variety of jobs before joining the Lyric Players' Theatre in Belfast, where he honed his craft for several years. Neeson's breakthrough came in 1993 with his poignant portrayal of Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's critically acclaimed film Schindler's List.
