Liam Neeson has taken time out of his promotional tour for “Non-Stop” to film a small role in the “Entourage” movie.
The actor was photographed on set filming a scene with Jeremy Piven‘s Ari Gold and director Doug Ellin’s signature casting move — gorgeous extras.
Neeson likely plays himself in the movie, which is currently filming in Los Angeles, though the context in which he’ll appear remains unclear. Eyewitness reports have Neeson driving a gold Bentley, with Piven steering a red Ferrari fit for a new studio chief.
