LIAM Neeson will play lend his voice to the role of a villainous raccoon in forthcoming animated movie ‘The Nut Job’, alongside a star-studded cast including Katherine Heigl, Sarah Gadon, Brendan Fraser and Jeff Dunham.

Director Peter Lepeniotis said: “Having the distinguished Liam Neeson lend his talents as the raccoon villain is the perfect finishing touch. His contribution fulfils that dramatic need in our comedy adventure. It’s an honour working with him.”
