I still laugh at the Naked Gun series of movies. And, the movies have aged fairly well. Nielsen started out as a serious actor. From the 50s to the mid-70s, he played mostly serious roles in features. It was Airplane that boosted his popularity and that was when he made the decision to “flip the script” and turn into a comedic actor. Most people from my generation and younger mostly remember him from his comedic roles.
Everyone knows about his Naked Gun movies.
Nielsen will be missed.
