Decades After First Saying It, Aidan Quinn Still Believes He Has Just the Right Amount of…..
Star of Practical Magic and Elementary, Aidan Quinn, 62, reunites with Liam Neeson for Blacklight, an action thriller, their sixth movie (in theaters February 11). Quinn plays the FBI’s chief agent, Gabriel Robinson, who also serves as Neeson’s boss in this suspenseful drama about a murderous plot within the agency.
He was recruited by the intelligence services and served in the Army. He made a turn at one point. His job became his life, after he lost his wife. He believes that the nation needs to be straightened out since it is headed towards disaster.
We actually never met on the first movie we worked on together; the day I flew back from Colombia to work with Robert De Niro on The Mission was also the day he was flying in, so that one never happened. But on Michael Collins, the characters we played were such a delicious relationship; we had been friends before, and we grew closer. It is always a pleasure to work with an old friend who is so incredibly talented and you have a shorthand with. You know that once the music starts.
