Deacon Phillippe stars in Liam Neeson’s heist comedy film

Deacon Phillippe, the 20-year-old son of actors Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, is set to make his major film debut in a heist comedy. He is currently studying music at New York University and previously appeared as a guest star in the Netflix series 'Never Have I Ever' in 2022. His new role is in the film adaptation of '4 Kids Walk Into A Bank,' which features a cast of rising stars alongside veteran actor Liam Neeson. The film, directed by Frankie Shaw, is based on a graphic novel by Matthew Rosenberg and adapted by screenwriter Matt Robinson. It tells the story of a heist that spirals out of control, focusing on Neeson's character, an ex-bank robber named Danny. The plot thickens when his granddaughter, Paige, overhears plans for him to return to crime and decides to take matters into her own hands by enlisting her friends to rob the bank first. The narrative is described as a darkly comedic tale of four young criminals and their ambitious plans. The film's cast includes Talia Ryder, Noah Jupe, Whitney Peak, and Jack Dylan Grazer, all of whom are emerging talents in the industry. Neeson's extensive film career includes notable works such as 'Schindler's List' and 'Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,' showcasing his versatility and experience. As Deacon embarks on this new chapter in his acting career, the film promises to blend humor with the tension of a heist gone wrong, appealing to audiences looking for both comedy and drama. This project marks a significant milestone for Deacon as he steps into the spotlight alongside established actors.
