Liam • What others had to say about Liam
CoStars
Jim Carrey
“He’s his own guy, too. He does his own thing, doesn’t really care.”
“He’s mysterious. Chicks are gonna dig him.”
“Liam is terrific. He’s got such a strange ethereal quality to him.”
Emily Browning
“It was funny because I read a lot and Liam is better with the technology sort of stuff. Like we live next door to each other and if I couldn’t figure out the video player, how to record something, I’d ask him to come over so it was like the other way around.”
“We got along really well, and we sort of had a brother-sister thing going on while we – you know, silly little arguments, I’m right and you’re wrong. We’d sort of do that every day.”
“Liam and I fought on the set over silly things…like he told me to pick up my dress as I ran but I didn’t feel like it and he told me it was a more lady-like thing to do.”
Parker Posey
“Aw, little Liam. He’s amazing. He’s incredible. You know, we were in Berlin and that was an incredible experience. We were there for two months and we were in Paris and Istanbul and Liam, I just adore him. We were hanging out and he has a band and I took all these, I still need to get them developed, I took a lot of cute pictures of him. His mother was there too, Moya. We had a good time.”
Directors & Producers
“Liam is an amazing, talented and very professional young actor. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when he came on board.” John Hoffman, Good Boy! Director
“Liam is just a wonderful actor. He is so natural on camera, yet he is a complete professional about his work.” Lisa Henson, Good Boy! Producer
“We looked a really long time to find Liam. We found him rather late in the game & were blown away when we saw him. He is soulful; he’s got the most soulful face I’ve ever seen. He’s very experience but he’s very natural, too. He is professional he can get it right in very few takes even under the most difficult of circumstances…” Kristine Belson, Good Boy! Producer
“He is very intelligent and has a great sense of humor. He listens very carefully and responds to what the other actors are giving him, which is a sign of a born actor, in my opinion. What was really interesting about both Liam and Tyler Hoechlin is that they came in for two weeks of rehearsals with Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law, Jennifer Jason Leigh…and didn’t bat an eyelid. They were there every day with the ‘heavy hitters,’ patiently watching and listening to every scene being rehearsed, so they were part of the fabric of the movie from a very early stage.” Sam Mendes, Road to Perdition Director
“He’s a real professional at a very young age. He’s just a remarkable young man … very impressive.” Richard Zunuck, Road to Perdition Producer
“The moment Liam stepped in the room, I knew our search was over. Liam was adorable, mischievous, funny, smart, and most importantly, real. His reading of the film’s final scene was heartbreaking. We had our Ben.” Chris Columbus, Stepmom Director
Reviewers
“Liam Aiken, whose roles in “The Road to Perdition” and “Stepmom” were the kind that inspire people to claim some kids have an “old soul’.” Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
“Aiken’s heartfelt loneliness and need for Hubble in his life is tactile. He has a fantastic face and he carries this movie on his little 13 year old shoulders with aplomb.” Karina Montgomery, Cinerina
“Young lead, Liam Aiken. Most familiar to moviegoers from playing the youngest son of Tom Hanks’ character in “Road to Perdition,” Aiken seamlessly interacts with “Good Boy!’s” talking canines at a deeper level of feeling than the film itself achieves, and the character notes he hits are flawless.” Kim Williamson, Boxoffice Magazine
