Leslie Nielsen had a very serious role as a Starship Captain in ‘Forbidden Planet’. It is this serious past which helps make his comedy so funny. Liam should do fine I figure.
Nelson always wanted to do comedy, but the powers that be in Hollywood always cast him in serious roles, usually a bad guy.
He finally got his big break in “Airplane!” And the rest as they say is history!......
