	Talking Comedy With Leslie Nielsen
		What sets Nielsen apart from the other, more strongly identified comedian comedy performers is his strong identification with a particular form of comedy that he has been a major innovator in: general or specific parodies in which the central character acts calm and normal within an abnormal and crazy world.
		Leslie Nielsen was in Montreal this past summer shooting his latest (Canadian-German co-production) film, 2001: A Space Travesty (title still tentative, directed by Allan Goldstein), which he not only stars in but also co-wrote with Joseph Bitonti, Francesco Lucente, and Olimpia Lucente, and served as executive producer.
		Nielsen: Well you don't care about his fortunes that much, but you are able to be in such total control because you can sit back and either like or not.

	Leslie Nielsen
		Nielsen went on to star in such series as The New Breed, Bracken's World, and Hawaii Five-O (1968), but found he was more in demand as a heavy than as a hero.
		A notorious offscreen practical joker and cut-up, Nielsen was not given an onscreen conduit for this trait until he was cast in the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker spoof Airplane (1980).
		Nielsen also found success in a number of other film spoofs, so much, in fact, that those familiar only with his loopy comedy roles are invariably surprised that, once upon a time, he took himself deadly seriously in films like Harlow (1965) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972).
