He has, however, dabbled in lighter acting gigs such as Ted 2. Following the release of the second trailer for The Naked Gun reboot, excited fans have had their say, with many anticipating that the movie will stay in line with the originals. One said: 'I was getting ready for another 'Taken' movie, and then it turned into this. Liam Neeson doing comedy is something I never knew I needed so badly. I'm dying!' Another commented: 'I was dubious at first, but I feel this is going to keep the spirit of the originals alive. The Spirit Halloween gag was perfection.' A third added: 'I'm immediately in. The spirit of the Police Squad is evident in the chair pun and the man's laughter joke! Liam Neeson is incredibly amazing for performing this without fear.' The Naked Gun reboot hits cinemas on August 1.
