    Yeah, Liam Neeson nailed the dead pan delivery of the original, it was probably a good idea to not cast a comedian.

      The genius of Naked Gun (and Leslie Nielsen in general) is that he’s got the classic double act energy, but he acts as the straight man to himself. Neeson (and the director) understood the assignment.

      His comic role in `1000 Ways To Die in the Old West" was a superb nod to the characters he’d been playing regularly

      He was truly amazing in “Kinsey”
