Leslie Nielsen

Leslie William Nielsen  (11 Februari 192628 November 2010) adalah seorang aktor dan komedian Kanada-Amerika. Dengan karier yang telah berlangsung selama 60 tahun, ia muncul dalam lebih dari 100 film dan 150 program televisi, memerankan lebih dari 220 karakter.

Nielsen memulai debut aktingnya pada tahun 1950, tampil dalam 46 program televisi langsung pada tahun itu. Ia memulai debut filmnya pada tahun 1956, dengan peran pendukung dalam beberapa drama, film koboi, dan film romantis yang diproduksi dari tahun 1950-an hingga 1970-an.

Meskipun penampilannya yang mengesankan dalam film-film Forbidden Planet dan The Poseidon Adventure memberinya kedudukan sebagai aktor drama, Nielsen kemudian mendapatkan pengakuan abadi atas peran-peran komedi datar nya selama tahun 1980an, setelah dipilih untuk peran dalam film komedi karya Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker Airplane!. Dalam peran komedinya, ia mengkhususkan diri dalam memerankan karakter yang tidak menyadari dan terlibat dalam lingkungan absurd di sekitar mereka. Penampilannya dalam Airplane! menandai titik balik yang menjadikannya "Olivier dari film parodi", menurut kritikus film Roger Ebert, dan membawanya pada kesuksesan lebih lanjut dalam genre tersebut, membintangi seri film The Naked Gun, berdasarkan serial televisi pendeknya Police Squad!.

Dia menerima berbagai penghargaan dan dilantik ke Canada's Walk of Fame dan Hollywood Walk of Fame.
