Leslie Nielsen

摘要

A concerned doctor on arntroubled airliner in the 1980 film Airplane! asks a fellow passenger, "Can you fly this plane and land it?" The passenger replies, "Surely, you can't be serious," to which the doctor responds, "I am serious And don't call me Shirley." This single punch line, which ranks No. 79 on the American Film Institute's list of top movie quotes of all time forced a turnabout in Leslie Nielsen's 60-vear staee. filmrnand TV career. In the first half, he was a reliable dramatic actor of patrician masculinity.
