Born January 7th, 1990, in New York City, it was apparent from the beginning that Liam was a natural actor. After securing a small part on Broadway in the award-winning production of Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House," Liam's big break came in 1997, when he played Ned in the movie Henry Fool. From there he has created a snowball of films that has yet to stop rolling through Hollywood. With his eyes and facial moves, he has been compared to Jim Carrey, but when it comes to character portrayals, Liam is his own person, with his own unique style. Liam attends school, and when on the set, he has a tutor who gives him his homework.
Is an only child. He enjoys doing magic tricks. First job in acting was starring in a Ford Windstar commercial. Tried out for the part of Harry Potter but lost to Daniel Radcliffe. Started acting at age 6 shortly after his father died and at the urging of his mother. His father, Bill Aiken, was a producer for MTV and Nickleodeon television programs who died of cancer when Liam was 2 1/2 years old. Attended the 76th annual Academy Awards with his good friend Miles Guthrie Robbins (son of Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon). (February 29, 2004) Plays the guitar. Fan of punk music, and aspires to play the guitar like Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello. Turned down the role in The Sixth Sense, which then went to Haley Joel Osment. While out promoting the movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events--a movie in which he plays a child who is orphaned when his parents are killed in a fire--his house burned down. Has appeared in two films alongside Jude Law (_Road to Perdition_ (2002) and _Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events_ (2004) ) yet the two have never shared a scene.
