This is not the only comedy that Liam Neeson has lined up as he is also taking on the central role in the reboot of “Th Naked Gun” reboot. The 72-year-old actor is to feature as Frank Drebin Jr.- the son of Leslie Nielsen’s protagonist Detective Frank Drebin from the original films- in the forthcoming flick and is wary of the expectation that comes with reviving the spoof comedy franchise.
