Did you know that in Taken

Did you catch this in Taken? Liam Neeson and Famke Janssen play American roles, while Neeson is Irish and Janssen is Dutch. The spinoffs didn't have any Albanian actors portraying Albanian roles since the original film was considered so harmful to Albania's reputation that no Albanian actor would honor the franchise by appearing in it.

Albanian human traffickers might have done more to its reputation than then movie

[DarkMatterX]

"Albania's reputation"
You mean as kidnapping gangsters?

[nodak]

That's not quite true. It wasn't that no Albanian actors were willing to appear in it, it was just that they were all too busy trafficking women.

Love that a whole country will allow a movie to dictate their reputation lol

[srpskicrnogorac]

The most criminal country in Europe talks about reputation 😂

[williammoore]

Sounds like Albania is feeling guilty about something.

I want Liam and Famke to work things out for Taken 3 and give their characters some more screen time together as a love couples and not friends.

Stereotypes are always there for a reason.

He’s awesome 👏 👏👏👏👏 Liam is the best of the best ❤️

[rainbowmoon]

I don’t believe it. Next you’ll tell me Liam Neeson isn’t actually a highly skilled assassin guy. 😂

[H.M.SKingGeorgeV]

Liam Neeson, probably the best actor from the U.K as of now.

[Lelandbennett]

I never knew Liam Nesson was Irish till Michael Collins film im also Irish 😂😂

[irenecorrea]

we would have zero movies if that was the case!!! PETTY AF!!!

[greekmacedonianwegreeksare]

They are plenty of Albanian actors in such as Bajraktar. They are just not nationally Albanian. They are ethnically Albanian.

[kevindavis]

How would we have caught it in 'Taken' when it only applied to the later movies?

[midnytevega]

Sets aside any doubt we had about Albania

[metropcs]

That's not true. Loved all three taken movies.

[wdZo]

That's stupid. We know it's a movie. I actually thought the city looked cool.

[josephnoneofyourbeeswax]

There are probably more British male actors than Americans one in Hollywood. Liam is Northern Irish. They are two separate countries as far as I know.

[Evan-hockputer]

Actually... Liam Neeson is Northern Irish. And Northern Ireland is from the UK.
