Although his notable performances in the films Forbidden Planet and The Poseidon Adventure gave him standing as a serious histrion, Nielsen afterward gained enduring recognition for his deadpan comedy roles during the 1980s, after being cast for the Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker one-act pic Airplane!.[7] In his comedy roles, Nielsen specialized in portraying characters oblivious to and complicit in their absurd surround.[eight] Nielsen's performance in Aeroplane! marked his turning point, which made him "the Olivier of spoofs" according to film critic Roger Ebert,[9] and leading to further success in the genre with The Naked Gun moving-picture show series, based on the earlier short-lived television series Constabulary Squad!, in which Nielsen as well starred. Nielsen received a variety of awards and was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Early life [edit]

Nielsen was built-in on 11 February 1926 in Regina, Saskatchewan.[10] His mother, Mabel Elizabeth ( née Davies), was an immigrant from Wales, and his begetter, Ingvard Eversen Nielsen (1900–1975), was a Danish-born constable in the Majestic Canadian Mounted Police force.[11] [12] [13] Nielsen was built-in the second of two boys to both his parents. His elder brother, Erik Nielsen (1924–2008), was a long-time Canadian Member of Parliament, cabinet minister, and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada from 1984 to 1986.[14] He also has a half-brother, Gilbert Nielsen, from his father's other relationship.[xv]

Nielsen's half-uncle Jean Hersholt (pictured here in the 1936 film His Brother's Wife) inspired him to become an role player.

Nielsen's half-uncle Jean Hersholt was an actor known for his portrayal of Dr. Christian in a radio series of that title, and the subsequent television series and films.[16] [17] In a 1994 Boston World article, Nielsen explained, "I did larn very early that when I would mention my uncle, people would look at me as if I were the biggest liar in the world. Then I would accept them home and show them eight-by-10 glossies, and things changed quite drastically. So I began to remember that maybe this interim business was non a bad thought, much as I was very shy well-nigh it and certainly without courage regarding it. My uncle died not too long later on I was in a position to know him. I regret that I had not a adventure to know him better."[sixteen]

Nielsen lived for several years in Fort Norman (now Tulita) in the Northwest Territories, where his male parent was with the Royal Canadian Mounted Law.[sixteen] [18] His begetter was an abusive man who trounce his wife and sons, and Leslie longed to escape. Following graduation from Victoria High School (later renamed Victoria School of the Arts) in Edmonton, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force at age 17 in 1943,[one] [2] though he was legally deaf (he wore hearing aids virtually of his life).[xix] [20] In that location he trained equally an aerial gunner during Globe War II. However, he was too young to be fully trained or sent overseas.[21] Upon the war's end, Nielsen was discharged and worked briefly equally a disc jockey[3] [4] at a Calgary, Alberta, radio station, before enrolling at the Lorne Greene Academy of Radio Arts in Toronto.[16] [22]

While studying in Toronto, Nielsen received a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse. He noted, "I couldn't turn down, but I must say when you come up from the land of the snow goose, the moose, and wool to New York, you're bringing every ton of hayseed and land bumpkin that you lot packed. As long as I didn't open up my oral fissure, I felt a certain security. But I always idea I was going to exist unmasked: 'OK, pack your stuff.' 'Well, what'southward the matter?' 'We've discovered y'all accept no talent; nosotros're shipping you dorsum to Canada.'"[16]

He moved to New York Metropolis for his scholarship,[ten] studying theatre and music at the Neighborhood Playhouse, while performing in summer stock theatre.[23] Afterward, he attended the Actors Studio,[24] until his first television appearance in 1950 on an episode of Studio One, alongside Charlton Heston,[25] for which he was paid $75 (equivalent to $840 in 2021).[xvi]

Career [edit]

Early career [edit]

"Information technology was a strange era, the tail end of the gilded historic period. A fourth dimension when the Tiffany'southward of filmmakers was burying its head in the sand and trying to pretend that this new medium (television) was non happening."

Nielsen reflecting on the era when he started interim.[25]

Nielsen's career began in dramatic roles on television during "Tv set's Golden Historic period",[26] appearing in 46 live programs in 1950 alone.[27] He said there "was very piffling gold, we only got $75 or $100 per prove."[27] He narrated documentaries and commercials and nigh of his early on work equally a dramatic actor was uneventful.[28] Hal Erickson of Allmovie noted that "much of Nielsen's early on work was undistinguished; he was merely a handsome leading man in an manufacture overstocked with handsome leading men."[28]

In 1956, he made his feature-film debut in the Michael Curtiz-directed musical moving picture The Vagabond King.[29] In the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Nielsen remembered Curtiz as "a sadist, a charming sadist, just a sadist".[25] Nielsen called this picture show "The Vagabond Turkey".[thirty] Though the film was non a success, producer Nicholas Nayfack offered him an audition for the science-fiction moving picture Forbidden Planet, resulting in Nielsen's taking a long contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).[25] [31]

Nielsen, along with co-star Anne Francis, in his second film, Forbidden Planet (1956). Nielsen: "Supposedly a scientific discipline-fiction version of Shakespeare's The Tempest, it was all virtually the id, or something like that. Who knows? The Trekkies today regard it as the precursor of Star Trek. I merely had to habiliment a tight uniform and make eyes at Anne Francis. I was pretty thin back then."[32]

Forbidden Planet became an instant success,[33] and roles in other MGM films such as Ransom! (1956), The Opposite Sex (1956) and Hot Summertime Night (1957) followed.[34] In 1957 he won the lead role opposite Debbie Reynolds in the romantic comedy Tammy and the Bachelor, which, as a Chicago Tribune critic wrote in 1998, made people consider Nielsen a dramatic thespian and handsome romantic lead.[35] Even so, dissatisfied with the films he was offered, calling the studios "a Tiffany, which had forgotten how to make silverish", Nielsen left MGM later auditioning for Messala in the 1959 Ben-Hur. Stephen Boyd got the role.[36] [37]

After leaving the studios, Nielsen landed the atomic number 82 role in the Disney miniseries The Swamp Fox, every bit American Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion.[38] In a 1988 interview, he reflected on the series, saying, "That was a great experience, because the Disney people didn't do their shows similar anybody else, knocking out an episode a week. ... Nosotros simply had to practice an episode a calendar month, and the budgets were extremely high for TV at that time. We had location shooting rather than inexpensive studio backdrops, and very authentic costumes."[39] Eight episodes were produced and aired between 1959 and 1961.[38]

His television appearances include Justice, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Voyage to the Bottom of the Body of water, Wagon Railroad train, Gunsmoke, The Virginian, and The Wild Wild W. In 1961, he was the lead in a Los Angeles police drama called The New Breed. He invitee-starred in a 1964 episode of Daniel Boone with Fess Parker in a minor simply credited function. In 1968, he had a major role in the airplane pilot for the police serial Hawaii Five-O, and appeared in i of the 7th-season episodes. In 1969, he had the leading role every bit a police officer in The Bold Ones: The Protectors.

In 1972, Nielsen appeared as the ship'due south captain in The Poseidon Risk. He also starred in the William Girdler's 1977 action moving-picture show, Project: Impale. His concluding dramatic role before mainly comedy roles was the 1979 Canadian disaster film Urban center on Fire, in which he played a corrupt mayor. In 1980, he guest-starred as Sinclair on the CBS miniseries The Chisholms.

Comedy: Plane! and The Naked Gun [edit]

In an early comedic advent, Nielsen appeared on M*A*S*H in 1973 equally the title graphic symbol in "The Ringbanger."

Nielsen's supporting role of Dr. Rumack in Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker'south 1980's Airplane! was a turning indicate in his career. The film, a parody of disaster films such as Zero 60 minutes! and Airport, was based on building a comedy around actors known for dramatic roles. Other stars included Robert Stack, Peter Graves, and Lloyd Bridges. Nielsen's deadpan commitment contrasted with the applesauce surrounding him. When asked, "Surely you can't be serious?", he responded with a curt, "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley." In several interviews, he reflected on the line: "I thought it was amusing, but it never occurred to me that information technology was going to become a trademark. It'south such a surprise ... the thing comes out, people say, 'What did he say?!'"[40]

Nielsen said he was "pleased and honoured that [he] had a hazard to deliver that line."[41] As of 2010, the comedic exchange was at number 79 on the American Film Institute's AFI'due south 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes.[42] The American Motion-picture show Institute included the moving-picture show in its listing of the elevation-10 comedy films of all fourth dimension in 2008,[43] and a 2007 survey in the Britain judged it the second-greatest one-act film of all time.[44] In 2012, Empire voted information technology number ane in the 50 Funniest Comedies Ever poll.[45] Critics praised the film, which also proved a long-term success with audiences.[46] In 2010, Airplane! was selected for preservation in the National Motion-picture show Registry by the Library of Congress.[47] [48]

Leslie Nielsen (right) in the role that established him as a comedic actor: Dr. Rumack in the 1980 flick Plane!

The directors cast Nielsen for his ability to play like "a fish in water", saying "You could have cast funny people and done it with everybody winking, goofing off, and dizzy ... nosotros wanted people to be oblivious to the comedy."[43] For Nielsen, Airplane! marked a shift from dramatic roles to deadpan comedy. When it was suggested his role in Plane! was against blazon, Nielsen protested that he had "ever been cast against type before", and that comedy was what he always wanted to do.[49] The same directors cast Nielsen in a similar style, in their Television receiver serial Police Squad!. The series introduced Nielsen as Frank Drebin, the stereotypical police officer modelled afterwards serious characters in earlier police series.

Police force Squad's opening sequence was based on the 1950s testify 1000 Squad, which starred Lee Marvin, and opened with footage of a police car roving through a dark urban setting with a big band playing a jazz song in the background. The Hank Simms phonation-over and the show's organization into acts with an epilogue was homage to Quinn Martin police dramas including The Fugitive, The Streets of San Francisco, Barnaby Jones, The F.B.I., and Cannon. Nielsen portrayed a serious character whose one-liners appeared accidental next to the pratfalls and sight gags that were happening around him. Although the show lasted only six episodes, Nielsen received an Emmy Award[50] nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Serial.[51]

Six years after cancellation of Constabulary Squad!, the moving-picture show The Naked Gun: From the Files of Constabulary Team! returned Nielsen to his role as Frank Drebin. It involved a ruthless drug king trying hypnosis to assassinate Queen Elizabeth 2. Nielsen did many of his own stunts: "You lot have an thought of how you're going to do something, and it'south your vision ... unless you do it, it actually doesn't stand a chance."[40] This movie grossed over $78 million and was well received past critics.[52] [53] Ebert'south 3+ 1⁄2 –star review (out of four) noted, "You express joy, and then y'all laugh at yourself for laughing."[54]

The Naked Gun spawned two sequels: The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994). The Naked Gun 2½ grossed more the original, with $86.9 million, while 33⅓ grossed $51.1 meg.[55] [56] Nielsen remained open up to a quaternary Naked Gun moving picture, although he doubted that it would be produced — "I don't think and then", he said in 2005. "If there hasn't been one past at present, I doubt it. I call back it would be wonderful."[57]

Nielsen briefly appeared on the World Wrestling Federation program in the summer of 1994 on WWF Monday Night Raw, capitalizing on Frank Drebin. Nielsen (and George Kennedy) were hired as sleuths to unravel the mystery of the Undertaker, who had disappeared at January'south Royal Rumble event. At SummerSlam 1994, in a Naked Gun parody, they were hot on the case (in fact, they were standing on a example). Although they did non find the Undertaker, the instance had been closed (the literal case had been shut), thus they solved the mystery.[58] In 1990, Nielsen appeared as a Frank Drebin character in advertisements in the United Kingdom for Red Rock Cider.

Noncomedic roles later on Airplane! included Prom Night (1980) and Creepshow (1982), both horror films, and every bit a dramatic and unsympathetic grapheme in the 1986 comedy Soul Man. His final dramatic part was as Allen Greenish, a tearing customer of a prostitute killed in self-defence by Barbra Streisand'southward character, Claudia Draper, in Martin Ritt's courtroom drama Nuts (1987).

Later comedies [edit]

After Airplane! and The Naked Gun, Nielsen portrayed similarly styled roles in a number of other films. These by and large emulated the way of The Naked Gun with varying success and often targeted specific films; many were panned by critics and most performed poorly. Repossessed (1990) and 2001: A Space Travesty (2001) were parodies of The Exorcist and 2001: A Space Odyssey, respectively. Both attempted absurd comedy, but were poorly received.[59] [lx] Fifty-fifty a leading role in a Mel Brooks comic horror, Dracula: Dead and Loving Information technology, failed to generate much box-function excitement, although it did proceeds a following in a afterward release to video. Both 1996'south Spy Hard and 1998's Wrongfully Accused, a parody of James Bail films and The Fugitive, were popular on video, but not well received by critics.[61] [62]

His effort at children's comedies met additional criticism. Surf Ninjas (1993) and Mr. Magoo (1997) had scathing reviews. Several critics were disappointed that Nielsen'south role in Surf Ninjas was only "an extended cameo" and Chris Hicks recommended that viewers "avoid whatsoever comedy that features Leslie Nielsen outside of the Naked Gun series."[63] [64] Jeff Miller of the Houston Relate panned Mr. Magoo, a live-action remake of the 1950s cartoon, past saying, "I'm supposed to suggest how the motion picture might be better, but I can't think of anything to say other than to make the film over again."[65]

Nielsen'southward first major success since The Naked Gun came in a supporting role in Scary Moving picture three (2003). His appearance every bit President Harris led to a 2nd appearance in its sequel, Scary Movie 4 (2006). This was the first time Nielsen had reprised a character since Frank Drebin. In 1 scene, Nielsen appeared nearly nude, and one critic referred to the scene equally putting "the 'scary' in Scary Motion picture 4."[66]

Video, stage, and celebrity productions [edit]

Nielsen also produced instructional golf game videos, which were not presented in a serious manner, beginning with 1993'south Bad Golf Made Easier. The videos combined one-act with golf techniques. The series spawned two additional sequels, Bad Golf My Mode (1994) and Stupid Footling Golf Video (1997). Nielsen as well co-wrote a fictional autobiography titled The Naked Truth. The book portrayed Nielsen every bit a popular actor with a long history of prestigious films.

The sibling relationship with his elder brother, the Honourable Erik Nielsen, a one-time Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, served as the premise of an HBO mockumentary entitled The Canadian Conspiracy in which Leslie Nielsen appeared, along with other prominent Canadian-born media personalities. He was a celebrity contestant on CBS's Gameshow Marathon, where he played The Price Is Right, Let's Make a Deal, Beat the Clock, and Press Your Luck for charity.[27]

Get-go in Feb 2007, Nielsen began playing a modest office as a doctor in the humorous nevertheless educational television bear witness Physician*Ology. The show chronicles real-life medical techniques and technology on the Discovery Channel. Nielsen said: "At that place are any number of things that you think about when yous ponder if you hadn't been an histrion, what would you exist, and I've always said I'd like to be an astronaut or a doctor. I take such admiration for doctors. I just don't know how you get around to thank them plenty for coming upward with the world's most remarkable new discoveries."[41]

In 2007, Nielsen starred in the drama Music Within. In 2008, he portrayed a version of Uncle Ben for Superhero Movie, a spoof of superhero films. He then appeared in the 2008 parody An American Ballad, which David Zucker directed, produced, and co-wrote. He appeared in the 2009 parody Stan Helsing.

I'm afraid if I don't keep moving, they're going to catch me ... I am 81 years old and I desire to encounter what's around the corner, and I don't see any reason in the globe not to keep working. But I am starting to value my down time a bang-up deal because I am realizing there might be other things to do that I am overlooking.

—Nielsen reflecting on his career in 2007[41]
