He was christened Micheál Neeson.

He is the grandson of actress Vanessa Redgrave and filmmaker Tony Richardson, the nephew of actress Joely Richardson, and the cousin of actress Daisy Bevan.

After appearing alongside Natalie Portman in 2018 film Vox Lux, Richardson insisted on auditioning for a role in Cold Pursuit (2019), a film in which his father Liam Neeson was starring, and a remake of the 2014 Norwegian crime thriller In Order of Disappearance.

Richardson successfully auditioned for the role of Neeson's character's son.

Richardson starred in Made in Italy (2020), a film about grief and familial relationships, again alongside his father.

Both father and son were touched by the script by James D’Arcy and the parallels with their own experiences with grief.

Richardson won the lead role in the Sophie Lane Curtis film On Our Way.

At the Ischia Global Film & Music Festival in Campania, Italy, in July 2022, the film won the Best Breakout Director of the Year Award for Curtis and the Rising Star Award for Richardson.
