I am Serious and don’t call me Shirley!
With over sixty years in the business Leslie Nielsen should be remember as one of the great comedic actors. With his trade mark deadpan expression he has delivered countless lines that have had audiences literally rolling around in laughter. Although, it wasn’t until Airplane! that he found his true calling, before that he had mostly played quite serious characters and even went through a period of playing the baddie. Sadly however, Leslie Nielsen passed away on the 28th November 2010.
These are my favourite Leslie Nielsen films.
In 1980 Leslie Nielsen played the very serious Dr. Rumack in Airplane!
In 1988 he starred as bungling detective, Frank Drebin, in the film version of Police Squad - The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
Back in 1956 Leslie Nielsen starred as Commander JJ Adams in Forbidden Planet, a fantastic science fiction story even by today’s standards.
In 1990 he starred as Father Jebedaiah Mayii in the musical spoof of The Exorcist - Repossessed.
In 1991 Leslie Nielsen reprised his role as Frank Drebin in the sequal to The Naked Gun - The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear
Finally here are some words of wisdom to remember him by.
