Ireland's favorite son quickly retracted his statement--Neeson can be found on the silver screen in the dark comedy Gun Shy, opening this Friday--but he seems to have found an acting role that suits him more comfortably: narrator.

Inside the entryway, Diallo turned away from the police and pulled a black object out of his back pocket - police thought the object, which was in fact a wallet, was a gun, and opened fire.
