Liam Neeson On 'Taken 3:' 'Just Bad Parenting' By Scott Harris | Feb 28, 2013 | 11:11 AM (NEXT MOVIE)

Last fall, Liam Neeson returned to cinemas with "Taken 2" and fans flocked to the theaters to find out one thing: Exactly how on Earth did Neeson's badass agent Bryan Mills manage to let his daughter get kidnapped a second time? Seriously, what happened to those special skills of his?

Well, it looks like Neeson himself was thinking the same thing, because in an interview with a Dublin radio station, he revealed that there won't be a "Taken 3" for the simple reason that it would be really dumb.

That's telling it like it is, Liam!

"I don’t think there’ll be a 'Taken 3.'  She can’t get taken again," Neeson told the folks at 98fm.  "That’s just bad parenting."

The 60-year-old actor was born and raised in the Co Antrim town, where he attended St Patrick's school and learned to box at local club All Saints.

Speaking from his New York home, Liam said he was delighted to accept the accolade.

"Enormous strides have been made in my native Northern Ireland in the past decade, demonstrated by political, social and economic changes that came about through a combination of courage, generosity and persistence," he said.

The council unanimously backed the proposal, made on Monday night by SDLP Mayor PJ McAvoy.

"I am absolutely delighted that my colleagues have unanimously agreed to offer what is a very significant honour to Liam Neeson," he said.

He is a worldwide star and the best known Ballymena man in the world.

Liam Neeson to receive Freedom of the Borough award (BBC NEWS)

Ballymena actor Liam Neeson is set to receive the freedom of his home town.

The Oscar-nominated actor is best known for his starring roles in the Star Wars film The Phantom Menace, Schindler's List and Michael Collins.

Mayor of Ballymena PJ McAvoy will propose that Neeson is offered the Freedom of the Borough at a council meeting on 5 November.

It is the highest accolade the council can give.

Mr McAvoy's SDLP colleague councillor Declan O'Loan said he expected that it would receive cross-party support.

"It is entirely appropriate that this award is made to Liam Neeson," he said.

"He is a very distinguished son of Ballymena and is identified with the town in a way no other prominent individual is.

Alan Rickman: Five appalling oscar snubs (BBC America)

Five Appalling
Alan Rickman
Oscar Snubs

Last week, Gary Oldman ended his three-decade reign as Oscar’s most perennially snubbed talent, scoring a nomination for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

His Harry Potter co-star Alan Rickman wasn’t so lucky: his well-reviewed performance in the final Potter film gave the British star his best shot at a nod in years, but the movie’s lack of awards momentum killed his chances.

Is Rickman the greatest living British film actor to never be nominated? Here are five Rickman roles that warranted recognition from the Academy:

(1)  Die Hard (1988)
Hans Gruber is where the legend of Rickman began, a role that remains iconic a quarter-century after the thriller pack theaters. Before you declare Die Hard “not an Oscar film,” note that the Academy has nominated worthy supporting actors in so-called “cheesy” blockbusters before (Fred Astaire in Towering Inferno, Alec Guinness in Best Picture nominee Star Wars, and Pat Morita in The Karate Kid, anyone?)
