Watch Liam Neeson Hilariously Audition to Play the Easter Bunny on ‘Colbert’


Liam Neeson appeared in a skit on 'The Late Show' where he auditioned to play the Easter Bunny.

In a skit on The Late Show, the actor auditioned to play the furry holiday rabbit, bringing an undeniable intensity to the popular verse, “Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail. Later, Neeson intones lines like “Eggs aren’t the only thing that’ll be dying tonight” and says the bunny is carrying a carrot in order to chew it into a shiv. “But Pierre was like, ‘Trust me — it’s going to work.’ I’ve always thought this was a straight-to-video film, but was very surprised when Fox cleverly cut a trailer, showed it at big sporting events, and it became successful when it was released.
