I know I am in the minority but I was not as much of a fan of Leslie Nielsen the comic as I was of Leslie Nielsen the dramatic actor. Although I love Airplane I think the first time I saw Nielsen on screen was watching 1987's Nuts on VHS. I love when I am watching some old show on tv or DVD and Nielsen pops up. Seems like he was on every cop show (Columbo, The Rookies, Cannon) from the 70's usually playing some creepy criminal. I still love to stick in my DVD of The Poseidon Adventure with Nielsen as the captain. Rest In Peace Dr. Rumack.
