Earlier in his career, he always played the "heavy." I guess he was able to work steady till the end.

Very funny. Some of the best dead pan delivery ever. I don't know how those guys made those movies without cracking up. Surely, some of the best films of the genre.

Part of why Leslie Nielson was one of the best at this was because he was legally deaf. He couldn't hear anyone on the film crew laughing! So their laughs didn't crack him up.

RIP, he was one of the greats!

An interesting factoid: Leslie Nielsen's older brother, Erik Nielsen, was involved in Canadian politics, rising as far as Deputy Prime Minister in the mid-1980s.

RIP, Leslie.
