I just watched Police Squard and The Naked Gun again a few months ago. The social/cultural/political references are ancient by now, but the gags still work great. I wonder why more actors haven't worked their way into the deadpan vein that Nielsen mined so well, but I think that's because he made a very difficult comedic tone seem easy. He was a favorite of mine, and apparently many other people's, judging from the tributes pouring out today. He'll be missed.

He was a great straight man actor, :I don't know any actor today that could pull it off
