thoughts, Really another film series turned in to a TV show

I think it could be good if they get just the right actor to play him. And if it doesn't involve his family very much, focusing instead on his career.

Who would you personally pick to play Bryan, And how long you think it should run for?

I think a mini series would of been better

It depends on how young they want to make him, and how much they want to make him look like Liam Neeson. If this is more based on the idea of the movie, rather than exactly on it, and they could pick anyone, that would be a lot different than picking a younger Liam.

Christian Kane is the best fighter I can think of, but he's a lot shorter than Liam, stockier, and I don't know if he can do an accent like Liam. He's also 41, and I don't know how young they want to make him. But Bryan's fighting skills in Taken remind me of Eliot Spencer (Leverage), so of course I would think of CK.

If we're going for a literal younger Liam, that narrows down the options. I'm not sure who can fight that well, even choreographed. I'll have to think about it.

How long it should run for I think would depend on how good they made it, I guess. I personally don't care for mini-series. They don't tend to be very good (so why bother?), and when they are good, they leave the audience going "but why is it over?"

I wpuld love to see Pierce Brosnan in this part with The November man he prived he can still do action and he has a great personality and charisma just like Liam Neeson.

Another thing is if it succeds it could give his career a great boost.
He has the warmth, the charisma, voice and everything just right to play Brian Mills

it has to be Philip Winchester
