Despite his family’s strong ties to the film industry, Deacon did not initially pursue a career in acting.
He is drawn to music, releasing his first song “Long Run” in 2020. He has mentioned that he enjoys singing more than acting and has always been more emotionally invested in music. However, this new role marks an important step in the film world.
Four Kids Walk into a Bank is centered around Neeson’s character, a retired bank robber who is reluctantly pulled back into a life of crime by his former accomplices.
