Leslie Nielsen – one of the most inspiring success stories in film history. Although he had early ambitions to be a dramatic leading man, he would end up settling for smaller character parts in film and TV for most of his career. He was then cast in a comedy film at age 54 that would reinvent him as a performer and lead to him becoming one of the biggest film stars of the decade. We explore his rise to fame, amazing gift for comedy timing, and why he’ll always be a cult icon.
