Partially due to the outpouring of support he received following the tragic death of his wife Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson has become a United States citizen.

From the New York Daily News.

"In the wake of that horrific event, the 57-year-old actor says he received a steady, extraordinary and continuing, stream of condolence letters from Americans.

"That is partly the reason why I've recently become an American citizen," Neeson said. "I'm still a proud Irishman, of course," he added, "but I've become an American citizen - I'm very proud of that."'
