— -- Must be pretty nice to have Liam Neeson as your on-screen dad, especially when it's in the trilogy "Taken."

Maggie Grace was on "Conan" last night and revealed once that Neeson, 62, recreated his iconic "Taken" call to the bad guys -- in which he threatens them -- but this time calling the actress' ex-boyfriend.

"He's like the best fake movie dad any girl could ask for," Grace said. "He's so protective, in real life too."

Then Grace played the audio for the audience, adding she was a "little heartbroken" and the ex was a bit of a mess.

"This is Brian Mills," Neeson says in the recording, referring to his character in "Taken."

"We've never met. And if you play your cards right, we never will," Neeson continues. "Now listen [ex's name]. You're lower than the pond scum, so I'm just gonna say thing once. You've made two mistakes. Your first mistake was dating out of your league. Your second mistake, well, let's just say, any more mistakes and I'll break your other arm."

He continues, "I don't need to say it, but I have a particular set of skills."
