Leslie Nielsen was more than just a funnyman — he was a serious talent. In this video, I take a look back at his long career, from his early dramatic work to his unforgettable comedic reinvention in Airplane! and The Naked Gun. This was one of my first videos, and I was still perfecting my style at the time, so please pardon any technical inconsistencies.
