Under the "Filmography" section of his page a film he narrated is missing. In 1975, Nielsen narrated "Threshold: The Blue Angels Experience".
I know this because I own the DVD (and owned the video tape as a child) and he is credited as the narrator in the beginning of the film. The listing for the DVD at Amazon.com also confirms this.

- I've seen it listed before while looking for sources a few years ago in improving the article. I have added it now. The filmography does not include all of his roles as there are so many, but at some point a separate list could be created for the larger selection. --Happy editing!

I am not a grammar person so when I notice stuff it is usually glaring. Perhaps someone can go through and clean the article up that is good with grammar. One incomplete sentence I noticed, "Nielsen's lead roles in the science fiction film Forbidden Planet (1956) and disaster movie The Poseidon Adventure (1972) for which he received positive reviews as a serious actor." 13:15, 29 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbfolsom122 (talk • contribs)
- The current version is "Nielsen's lead roles in the films Forbidden Planet (1956) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972) received positive reviews as a serious actor.", last changed in this edit. — Jeff G. ツ 17:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Please add to Leslie Nielsen in category of Final Years:
In 2000-2001, Leslie Nielsen starred in the Canadian television series, Liocracy (Liography), a half-hour satirical comedy series produced in Halifax Nova Scotia. It marked the beginning of new-found Canadian recognition and new work in his home country. Liocracy was perfect for Nielsen (in fact, written for him) as it sent up the cult of celebrity and biographical television. The 26-part series starred Nielsen as Host Terrence-Brynne McKennie, who introduced us to famous people who don't exist-but remind us of some that do; such as Opie O'Donnel, Richard Buttons, and The Fiendly Giant.

The text above appears to be a direct cut-and-paste (copyvio) from IMDB. Here is a link to the Liography entry in the Telefilm Canada catalogue: http://www.telefilm.gc.ca/en/catalogues/production/liography - Makes sense to me that if info on this short-lived series is to be included in the article, it would flow better in Later Comedies rather than Final Years.

- This Winnipeg Free Press article also mentions the series in a photo caption. Ivanvector (talk) 02:16, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
