Vikings star Clive Standen to play Bryan Mills in Taken TV series

February 23, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Back in September it was announced that NBC has given a straight-to-series order for a Taken prequel series, and now the network has found its Bryan Mills.

Deadline is reporting that British actor Clive Standen, who plays Rollo in History’s Vikings, is set to bring his particular set of skills to the character portrayed by Liam Neeson in the three movies.

Alex Cary (Homeland) will serve as showrunner on Taken and executive produces alongside Luc Besson, who co-wrote and produced all three big screen instalments.
