Leslie Nielsen - I am serious and stop calling me Shirley

What is it that makes Leslie Nielsen such a beloved character actor?

- Start with Deadpan Humor - a comedic style in which one-liners are delivered with no change of expression or emotion, often in a soft and subdued voice. It can actually be much funnier than it sounds.
- Add to that a series of characters completely oblivious to their surroundings and you have the Leslie Nielsen signature formula for comedy greatness.

"I am serious... and stop calling me Shirley."
February 11, 1926 - November 28, 2010

What Do You Think About Leslie Nielsen?

    One of the funniest men on screen - and to think he started out as heart-throb action hero! He will be sorely missed. Blessing this lens.

    He was a great comedic actor, without even trying to be a comedic actor.

    I love his formidable talent to make people laugh.

    Although I liked all of the comedies he worked in, I like the Doctor in Airplane! best, he was a very funny man. See you around the galaxy...
