Leslie Nielsen is such a bad-ass tagger that he doesn't even need to use his intials, or a short nick name. He uses a big black paint marker to claim his turf with all thirteen letters of his name. If the police happen to roll up on him in the act, he just flashes his badge, and says "Don't worry, I'm officer Frank Drebin working under cover here."

Leslie Nielsen is the better actor and Steve Martin is the funnier comedian, but comparing the two is like comparing green apples to red apples. They're both old white guys who do funny movies, but the comparison ends about there.

Count Dracula (Leslie Nielsen) has a longing to free the damp climate of his native home and leave the bats, spiders and draughty corridors behind. Short of eligible virgins to get his teeth into he looks towards England.

B[O]rn in Western Canada, Leslie Nielsen spent his early childhood in the isolated Yukon Territories where his father, an officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, was stationed at Fort Nelson. When it came time for him and his brother Eric to attend school, the family left the Territories for Edmonton, Alberta. Nielsen graduated, then joined the Royal Canadian Air Force just at the close of the Second World War and ended up serving only for a year as an aerial gunner as the war ended before he was sent overseas. After his service, he found work as a disc jockey at a Calgary radio station and discovered that he had a flair for show business. But Nielsen knew instinctively he had more to offer than just his voice and decided to move to Toronto where he enrolled in The Lorne Greene Academy of Radio Arts. It was here that he learned he had a real talent for acting.

Leslie Nielsen tones down the bumbling for Santa Who? but wearing a belly like a bowl full of jelly does little to diminish his trademark dimwittedness, which is what gets the bells ringing on this St. Nick flick. Peter Albright, self-involved TV reporter, can't believe his luck when Santa, presumably the for-hire variety, sails into his windshield and gets amnesia--what a story! When his search for Santa's family stops short at the North Pole, his humbug infestation subsides, setting him free to make merry. Predictability aside, Santa Who? drags a sleigh-full of better than average shenanigans into living rooms, making this a winter-evening warmer for the whole family.

Leslie Nielsen was raised in Tulita (formally Fort Norman), Northwest Territories. His father was a mountie and a strict disciplinarian. His mother was Welsh. Leslie studied at the Academy of Radio Arts in Toronto before moving on to New York's Neighborhood Playhouse. His acting career started at a much earlier age when he was forced to lie to his father in order to avoid severe punishment. Leslie has starred in over fifty movies and many more TV films.
