Fallout Series participation
Neeson was the voice actor for the Lone Wanderer's father James. Being in a main role in Fallout 3, Neeson recorded a considerable amount of dialogue for the game. The game designers intended the character of James to be very similar to the stance, behaviors and traits of Neeson, even in the character model which is similar to some extent.
